Introduction :
|
|
To say that Casares is beautiful is an understatement. Most of the white villages are beautiful but there is something very special about the sight of Casares that causes the visitor to park the car and simply stare or take a photo.

History:
|
|
The ruined church, Iglesia de la Encarnación was built in 1505, when Spain had been free from the Moros for a number of years. It remained in use until 1845, and the building was badly damaged by anarchists during the Civil War of 1936-39. Today it is locked and deserted.

Places to Visit:
|
|
There are two entrances into the fortifications, so you can take a circular journey. One is an enclosed passageway while the other resembles some kind of formal gate. The base of the walls is certainly Moorish but everything shoulder height or higher dates from after 1500
