Cordoba Villages Information: AGUILAR DE LA FRONTERA - LUCENA - CABRA Information - CORDOBA White Villages |
AGUILAR DE LA FRONTERA This town was a municipality already under the Romans. During the Moorish occupation, it became known owing to the muladi (Spaniard who adopted the Muslim religion) rebellion of Omar ibn Hafsun in the 9th c. Right on the road from Malaga to Cordova, it became an important fortress town and remained so until the end of the Middle Ages. Of its Andalusi past, there are bits of walls and towers on the hill over the village, known as Peñon del Moro. The village square of San Jose is one of the few polygonal squares in Spain. 
LUCENA The first mention of this town goes back to the 9th c. to the effect that it was inhabited by Jews. Held by the Almoravids, it was economically prosperous and culturally advanced. The parish church of San Mateo, a National Monument, is possibly the original mosque that, i!l turn, might have been built over a synagogue. The reformed castle stands in the Plaza Nueva and is famous for having served as a prison for Boabdil, last monarch of the Nasrid kingdom of Granada, captured at the battle of Lucena. 
CABRA This is an area where the largest number of archaeological sites have been found in the province of Cordova, with remains that go as far back as the Palaeolithic Age. The castle of the Counts of Cabra was first a Roman fortress and afterwards, Moorish. The parish church, which has 44 red marble columns, was built over the old mosque. The source of the Cabra river is not far away.
