This important and solid semicircular stone wall is a reworking of a cylindrical tower of great proportions. During the Andalusian era, Cazalilla belonged to the Cora de Jaén, with the name Qastalla.

Also known as “El Torreón”, this tower is in the vicinity of the Cortijada de la Torre María Martín. The archaeological site is topped by the elevated circular medieval tower, about 7 meters in diameter, which rests on another construction with a square plan.

In the centre of Cazalilla is the town’s most significant building, the parish church, which stands out both for its volume and height as well as for the quality of its construction materials and its artistic beauty.

The tourist office of Cazalilla is located in the Town Hall, opening from Monday to Friday.

The Festivals in Cazalilla are Cabalgata de Reyes Magos, Festividad de San Blás, Día de Andalucía, Semana Santa, Romería de Nuestra Señora de Alharilla, Fiesta de la Virgen de la Cruz and Fiestas de Agosto.

There is documented proof of human presence in Cazalilla dating as far back as the Copper Age (third millennium BC), indicated through both the ceramics of this period collected in its urban area and by the settlement of the Cerro de la Coronilla in the fortified farmhouse of La Atalaya.

Cazalilla is situated in the heart of the Jaén province, near the Guadalquivir River. Its lands, used exclusively for agriculture, comprise an unmistakable landscape of olive groves, cereal crops and orchards. It has about 800 inhabitants.
