Throughout the Middle Ages, the current population centers ruled by the Almoravids, Almohads and, finally, Nasrids emerged. All of them left their mark on the castles, the urban planning, the typology of the houses, the irrigation ditches and pools, the terraces and many other elements that are still the hallmark of these towns today.
This great stone archway three bodies, all horseshoe, and the central one larger than the two lateral ones, it was built at mid 20th century to commemorate the town's Arab past, becoming the entrance portico to the town, giving way to an eminently Muslim urban structure, especially in its oldest part.
These streets are steep, labyrinthine and narrow, sometimes with no exit, with shiny white facades and hidden corners, dominated by showy and striking flowers.
In the old areas, traditional houses still predominate. On the one hand, the most stately ones, generally built in squares or main streets, with two or three floors, a wide doorway and windows and balconies with beautiful lattices. On the other hand, the most humble ones, not exceeding two floors, both of which are low in height. On the façade, attention is usually drawn to the small size of the windows which, like the thick walls, are intended to keep the home isolated.
Next to these old houses, a small monument or vestige emerges from time to time, a reminder of a long history.
