CANETE LA REAL : Town in the Area of Campillos, Spain |

|
Introduction : |
||||||
|
Cañete La Real rises 742 metres above sea level, in the Cañete La Real sierra between the Padrasto (996 m.) and Castillo (840 m.) hills. Its territory offers a frontier landscape between the Antequera depression and the Ronda highland. The plains and hilly terrains of olives and cereals, which are characteristic of the Antequera depression, cover the main western part of the municipality, while the rest of the territory consists of small sierras which mark the outpost of the Ronda region. |

History: |
||||||
|
Although vestiges of pre-historic man have been found in various points of the municipality, the first news we have is of the Iberian epoch, in which there was a settlement on the hill near the actual town, which later the Phoenicians called Sabora, for the abundance of cereals in the area (ebura means cereal). From this primitive settlement, the Phoenicians established commercial relations with the authoctonous pre-existent town. During the Roman rule, very documented by the numerous sites discovered, the town moved from a place called Cerro de la Horca to its actual site. And the name Sabora from Flavia (Flavia Sabora) was added in honour of the emperor Tito Flavio Vespasiano, who in the year 79 granted its title of municipality. |

Cañete la Real is another town of the Antequera region which guards a rich historical-monumental heritage, with various archaeological sites from the medieval era and half a dozen buildings erected between the 15th and 18th century. Among the most notable are the parish church of San Sebastian, erected in the 15th century and rebuilt in the 18th century with a baroque front of undoubtable interest. It consists of three naves with half canon vaults and one of them opens up to a niche where the image of the town’s patron saint, the Virgin of Cañosantos is kept. On the outside there is a particularly interesting brick tower with a roof made with ceramics and geometric drawings |
