Malaga Villages Information: COIN HISTORY |
 |
| A TOWN WITH SO MUCH HISTORY Coin's first archaeological remains are the so called "Taller de Ardite", minerals were extracted and utensils were made in both the Paleolithic and the Copper and Bronze Ages. The "Cerro del Aljibe" deposit and its surroundings are exceptional witnesses of the passage from pre history to history, from the Catholic period to the first Century AD. It is supposed that Coin has a Latin ancestor, if not Roman, at least Mozarabic, according to Ibn Adhari, a Morocan chronicler of the 13th Century, who called it "Castro Dakwan". The Christian siege got tighter around the Nazari Kingdom of Granada, and in October 1407 began the first Christian confrontation against Dakwan. Dakwan's capture by the Christians was on the 27th of April 1485AD. By 1480 Dakwan was an important town in he Kingdom of Granada. Its population, the chronicler Valera reckoned to be 3000 inhabitants. After the capture of Coin, the Catholic King ordered the destruction of the remains of the fortress. Due to its size and situation, it was very difficult and expensive to defend. In 1765 AD king Carlos III, granted Coin the privilege to hold an annual fair from the 11th to the 14th of August. Nowadays that tradition is still preserved. The railway to Malaga was inaugurated in 1913 AD. Today, Coin is a modern and friendly town whose people show their warmth and hospitality, whatever your requests might be. The town preserves its traditions but looks towards the future. |
