Antequera

The natural characteristics of Antequera have made it a place of transit and settlement of the different communities that since the Paleolithic settled in the Iberian Peninsula. This period is the one that has left us the most important prehistoric remains, such as the Dolmen Complex of Menga, Viera and El Romeral, whose collection dates back more than 5,500 years.Latin municipalities such as Antikaria, Singilia Barba, Oscua or Aratispi and more than 150 villages are the testimony of an intense process of Romanization of these lands. The Ephebe of Antequera, cataloged as the most beautiful piece of classical times of our country, comes from one of these archaeological sites and is exhibited in the Museum of the City of Antequera (MVCA).With the arrival of the Arabs an important nucleus is consolidated, called Madina Antaquira, since the mid-thirteenth century, once Seville and Jaén were conquered, it begins to have importance as a border military fortress. The Castilian monarchs understood its condition as the key to the kingdom of Granada and as such tried to conquer it at different times. Finally it would be the Infante Don Fernando “el de Antequera” who conquered it, on September 16, 1410.
