The hill fort of Montemayor stands at five hundred and eighty metres and enters the record in the tenth century, in the chronicle al-Muqtabis V, as a place where Umar ibn Hafsun kept stores during his rebellion against Córdoba. The village below was founded at the end of the eleventh century and its name is Arabic — the building of Habish — and it capitulated to Ferdinand the Catholic on the eleventh of June 1485.
