Timeline
Phoenicians
12th and 11th centuries BCE
Its origin dates back to the 12th and 11th centuries BCE, with the arrival of the Phoenicians who settled in its territory after defeating the Tartessians.
Phocaean Greeks
7th century BCE
Later, this area was occupied by the Phocaean Greeks, in constant rivalry with the Punics.
Romans
2nd century BCE
Its first major inhabitants were the Romans, who named it Cortex (meaning "armor" or "defense"), a name that was later respected by the Arabs and has come down to us.
The Roman civilization left two nuclei of great importance that bear witness to its glorious passage, one in the ruins of the city of Saeponia or Seponta, of which it is believed that all kinds of remnants are preserved and still today remains unexcavated, the other, the remains of the city known as "Cortes el Viejo," very close to the village.
Arabs
Until 1.485 AD
Under Arab rule, Cortex, as it was called, was under the authority of Seville, later Granada, and finally Ronda. It was ultimately conquered by San Fernando in 1.248, but shortly afterward, and until 1.485, it returned to Arab hands, leaving behind significant remnants of their culture, such as the "Torre del Paso" (Tower of the Pass).
Christians
From the 17th century onwards.
The current location of the town dates back to the late 17th century, so its urban planning and main buildings follow different criteria from the prevailing norm in the towns of the region, with a rooted Arab-style layout.
