A HISTORIC ROCK

This is a small elevation of 635 meters above sea level.

This hill is an extension of himself in his Castle Hill northwest.

In the words of municipal archaeologist, Liborio Ruiz, this village was called in the sixteenth century "El Rabal" or "suburb", and its vicinity stood the hermitage of San Antón.

Its urban fabric, explains Ruiz, is clearly separated from the rest of the medieval enclosure.

Presents a radial distribution, from a central plaza or widening, located on the highest point of the hill, where they dig up the streets in an asymmetrical arrangement, which creates a path typical of late medieval Moorish quarters or ghettos, where most accesses elbow inlet end and battlements.

The works of terracing and gardens made in the area in the northern and the western slope of the hill, have provided samples of ceramics dating from the twelfth and fourteenth centuries.
