The Romans settled in Antequera both in the city itself and in the newly discovered settlement of Singilia Barba to the west.

The Moorish castle fell to the Christians in 1410 after a siege lasting 5 months. Local legend says that far below the city passages run underground ? to obtain water during the siege? No - more importantly because the besieged needed women!
