Antequera's ancient history begins 4,500 years ago, when, during the Copper Age (Megolithic times) the ‘dolmens’ or burial caves were built. The Moors and Romans followed later, leaving their individual architectural styles and remains, and most interesting is the Alcazaba Moorish fortress which presides over the town. Renaissance culture and art are also in abundance in Antequera. There are at least thirty churches with wonderful interiors and sculptures of notoriety.
