History
The village was originally a group of houses built for the servants of the Duke of Arcos next to his hunting lodge, Marchenilla Palace, in the 16th century.
During the War of Independence, its inhabitants offered stern resistance to the invasion, which saw the church, the Chapter Houses, the Archives and a large number of houses burned to the ground. King Ferdinand VII granted it village status in 1815.
