Geography

The municipality of Alameda, the northernmost province of Malaga, lies on a plain in which only a few small hills break the horizontal landscape which is abound with olives. This befits an area close to the countryside of Cordoba and Seville.

History

The archaeological remains found in this area show that since the Neolithic period the area, now the municipality, has been the basis for many human settlements.

In 208 B.C., during the times of Carthage, Iberian inhabitants of the area, to be besieged by the Romans, set fire to the village and perished in said fire to remain loyal to the Carthaginians.

During the Roman Empire it is known that Alameda was an enclave of strategic importance because three of the major roads to Baetica passed through the municipality. One, la Real, continues to cross town from the Plaza of Spain to the Plaza de Andalucia.

Little is known about the history of Alameda from then until the sixteenth century. Only a small Visigoth treasure the sixth century indicates that there was a settlement at that time in this location. And once the sixteenth century began, it became part of the Marquess of Estepa. Give that within the area the roads that connected Granada, Málaga and Seville crossed, the Marquis de Estepa, in 1663, decided to build the parish Immaculate Conception, around which the population was established.

Apart from the first half of the nineteenth century, Alameda forms part of the province of Málaga.

In the Plaza de Andalucia, which can be considered today the center of town, is a tombstone of 1994 which reads "The first Republican council, established on June 27, 1931, ordered the bell of the clock with the names of their councilors in relief, being carved during the unfortunate events of 1936. Being unreadable today, in their remembrance this plate is placed.[2] "
