History of Bélmez de la Moraleda

The oldest archeological find made locally is a sword from the Iberian era, when the Jandulilla Valley was the communication route between Cástulo and Acci. This route was probably at its most active during the fourth century BC, when the trade in Greek products was more prolific and the aristocracy of Úbeda la Vieja extended its control throughout the entire valley of the river, from the mouth to the Pajarillo hill in Huelma. The location of the Bélmez settlement indicates occupation, or at least some control over the valley, from an earlier time.
