Because of its location in the border area between Muslims and Castilians, it had a very uncertain activity during the Middle Ages, was taken by some and recovered by others on several occasions.

Of both, virtually nothing is preserved except for the remains in the Wall Clock.

During 15th centuryTorres was a battlefield between the masters of this Order and the supporters of Henry IV. As the conquest progressed, Torres moved away from the border and the population was increasing. It is believed that these new inhabitants came from Cuenca, Valencia and the Catalan area. For them, life under the mandate of the co-ordinators was not easy, until 1486 the Capitulation of Arjonilla,which limited mutual rights and obligations.

In the 16th century, given the economic needs of Charles I, he sold the territories of the Order, Torres among them, to his secretary Francisco de los Cobos. Here he ordered to build his house palace and the bridge that today is known as The Bridge.

It was built in the 16th century, reflecting the most new and outstanding aspects of the Manier architecture. The set stands out for its monumental beauty and austerity. It consists of an abrevadero pillar and a smaller one in which two lions make water pipes. In the center is the Austrian shield, and on the sides is the shield of Martos and that of Governor Aboz Enríquez.

It was built on dates near the delivery of Martos to the Kingdom of Castilla. In the 16th century the temple was remodeled and a bell tower was built. This sanctuary was burned and destroyed during the Spanish Civil War. The current was rebuilt in the 1940s of the last century, in a Neobaroque style.

  • The ruins of Castillo de la Peña which we know today are not those built by Muslims but correspond to the strength that the Calatravos built from 1340. The floor of the castle is trapezoidal adapted to the surface of the plateau on which it sits and its entrance, for security reasons, marked a zigzag drawing. The compound was divided into alcázar and a courtyard of weapons protected by a walled enclosure. The alcázar, where the tower of tribute is raised, takes advantage of a natural podium that lifts it about three meters above the courtyard of weapons, separated by a wide, also natural.

  • Castle of the Villa. It was an alcazaba or citadel surrounded by canvases of almenada wall, as well as passageways and towers, leaving the central space for the construction of administrative and religious buildings: church of Santa Catalina, headquarters of the governorate, cavalries, tahonas, lagores, aljibes, etc. According to evidence from an inspection carried out by the Visitors of the Order of Calatrava in the 16th century in order to repair the deficiencies of the Lower Fortress.

Naturaleza

The orography of the municipal term of Martos is characterized by being quite accidental, with plenty of mountain grounds above all the southern part, instead the north-western part corresponds to soft reliefs and plain characteristic of the Guadalquivir depression, which extends in the west and north of Martos.

Among the greatest levels are the Sierra de la Caracola, with 1340 m., located in the south and to the north is located the Sierra de La Grana with 1254 m. and this is the extension of the Sierra de Jabalcuz, and we would like to mention the well-known Peña de Martos with its 1003 m. on whose slopes the city of Martos is located.

The hydrographic network is composed of a set of rivers and streams which are used for both human consumption and irrigation.

They are two rivers the main ones that pass through the municipality: Eliche Riverwhich is born by the saw of the Grana, and the river Víboras which is born in the term of Valdepeñas de Jaén. The channel of this river is used in the a reservoir of the same name, next to the pastry of Las Casillas.

The flora of the term is dominated by the olive, located in a large percentage of the land of the municipality. It also exists indigenous vegetation of the Mediterranean forest in the mountain areas, where we see species such as: the oak, coscoja, white jara, complaining and abundant number of aromatic plants such as lavender, rosemary or thyme.

In the banks of the river Víboras coexist riverside species as they can be: white, strawberry, elves, olms, zarzamoras and carrizos.

In the fauna exists a great diversity of species, from rapacious birds, both diurnal and nocturnal; aquatic birds, paseriforms, reptiles, amphibians and minor-game mammals.

For nature lovers, Martos offers an interesting natural offer to make different routes, climb to the top of the Peña, offers unparalleled views of the countryside landscape and the surrounding mountains.

Other very interesting routes are also the rise to the Sierra de la Grana, the Sierra de la Caracolera and the setting that forms the reservoir of the Víboras River and the Víboras Castle.

Historia

The origins of Martos they go back to Prehistory. Its strategic location, the existence of springs and the natural defense it offered were factors that caused the human settlement in the area.

There is evidence of different lytic materials belonging to the Paleolithic, however, the oldest documented statements are from the Neolithic. Remains of this period have been found in "El Molinillo," "Huertas Viejas" and "La Alberquilla." They are underground housing, funeral and defensive structures.

The city is known from very old, the Iberians named it Tucci and an important Iberian oppidum located in the upper part of the Peña is cited in the works of Ptolemy. There will be many settlements around Martos, such as Castlejo de Belda, La Atalaya, El Alamillo...

The Iberian city of Tucci, being occupied by the Romans, it became a colony that was named after Augusta Gemella Tuccitana. Many remains of this time are preserved such as mosaics, coins, ceramics, weapons, marble portraits..., the most important being the collection of Roman tombstones exposed on the façade of the Casa Consistorial de Martos.

From the visigode period, the paleocristian sarcophagus which is preserved in the Provincial Museum is the most important archaeological piece appeared in the town.

In the year 711 The Visigodic monarchy on the Iberian peninsula ends with the arrival of Muslims. Since the 9th century it was a very disputed border city. From this time are the castle of the Peña, the walls and torreons of the castle of the Villa. In 1225, Martos became part of the kingdom of Castilla, which King Fernando III will donate to the Order of Calatrava.

From the 13th century it acquired great splendor that will be increased with King Fernando the Catholic and the arrival of settlers from Castile and the Moorish of the Alpujarras.

The 16th century was a stage of economic, social expansion and of great transformation of the villa with the construction of new buildings, the remodeling of others and the expansion of the urban town.

During the 20th century, With the development of the olive grove, the arrival of the railway and the road there was a great population growth that decreased in the decades of the 50 and 60 of the last century caused by emigration.

Descripción
Descripción larga

When he received the assignment, the Albacetean architect found it very difficult not to have a space of the size that Francisco de los Cobos asked for, so he solved it by building a vault on the River Cerezuelo; above the vault, the square of Santa Maria and on the square, the church, disproportionate by its enormous size, as they only lived a thousand inhabitants in the town, and yet almost cathedralicia. The project dated from 1535 and was a major engineering challenge for the media of the time.

It is said to be the only church in the world built on a river, and it is today, without a doubt, along with the vault on which it rises, the great tourist attraction in the city of Cazorla.

Breve descripción

The vault covering the Cerezuelo River was designed by Andrés de Vandelvira to be able to carry out the commission of Francisco de los Cobos, secretary of Charles V, as advance of Cazorla, of the construction of the church of Santa María. It is half-canyon, very compact, and adapts to the river's riverlevels throughout the plaza de Santa María, extending from the beginning of the plaza to the temple's header wall. The length of the tour is approximately 120 meters long.

Thirty years on, four stages are dressed for the occasion, over three days, to host the very best of world blues.
