The municipal district of Valle de Abdalajis is situated on the southern border of the Antequera region, almost entirely surrounded by the lands of Antequera and opened through a narrow corridor to the Valley of the Guadalhorce. The sierra of Valle de Abdalajis plays an important part and acts as an impressive calcareous background to the white houses which extend at its foot. On the opposite slope, the landscape is formed by a much smoother relief of hills and undulations covered with olive groves and cereal fields. And between the hills and the sierra is the Piedras brook, between plots which warn of the proximity of the Guadalhorce valley. The strategic situation of this small valley between the Guadalhorce lands, communications route towards the sea and the city of Malaga, and the Antequera lands, between the High and Low Andalusia, converts it into an important passageway all along history.
A history which although it had very remote antecedents, shown by the numerous vestiges found in the area, has its first notable pages in the Roman era. Here was the city of Neskania, an ancient Roman town which reached the privilege of being declared a municipality of the Baetica province in the 1st century, and in which, according to the tradition, there was a great temple dedicated to Jupiterīs cult. Razed by the Vandals in the mid 4th century, this whole region was depopulated during various centuries until, with the arrival of the Arabs, some forts were built which are now missing. The present name of the town seems to come from its founder, Abd-el-Aziz, son of Muza, which would situate its Arabic origins in the first years of this townīs presence in the peninsula, but there is hardly any data from this era. On the contrary, the origins of the present town it seems has to be found in the 16th century, when its lands were ceded as an estate by Felipe II to D. Alfonso Perez de Padilla, to whose family it belonged until the 19th century.
