Bedmar y Garcíez History

The origins of Bedmar can be traced back to the Iberians, later becoming a Roman castro and in turn inhabited by the Visigoths. However, it was during the Arab occupation of the territory that Bedmar became a formal township through the building of Villa Vieja. In 1411, the Order of Santiago built the “New Castle” modelled on contemporary defensive techniques, making it impossible for the Nasrid troops to attack. The castle’s strategic position on the Nasrid border made it a frequent object of military attention, which ultimately culminated in the Castilian conquest of 1431.
