Birthplace of Abén Humeya, promoter and first leader of the Moorish rebellion in 1568. He was born into a Moorish family converted to Christianity after the conquest of Granada in 1492. He left Christianity in favor of Islam and fought against repression of the Muslim faith and customs and the breach of the Capitulations of Granada and the laws of Carlos I and Felipe II. Said rebellion, which lasted three years and spread throughout the province, was violently controlled by the latter monarch.
