The Spanish Wikipedia site says that the beginnings of the town were a hamlet of a few houses known as "Campo de la Horadada". Possibly that's where the mulberry trees for silkworm breeding were? Only later the name was amended, after a church was built and consecrtated to "Nuestra Señora del Pilar" (Our Lady of the Pillar). "Our Lady of the Pillar" is a celebrated church and shrine, at Saragossa, containing a much revered image of the Blessed Virgin, which is placed on a marble pillar, hence the name of the church. The frequent Spanish female first name "Pilar" refers to Nuestra Señora del Pilar.
So "Pilar" refers to the church, and "la Horadada" was the old name of the area.

Pillar of the silkworm's cocoon.
"Horadar" means "to bore through" and the name "horadada" is given to a silkworm's cocoon which has been bored through. Could this, I wonder, apply to a particular architectural style?
