History: |

|
The Phoenicians were the first to arrive, in the 11th century BC, followed by the Greeks and Romans, the remains of whose settlement are a few kilometres outside town in Cortes El Viejo, in the Sierra de la Blanquilla. Scattered around the Cortes municipality are also vestiges of their aqueducts, bridges and monuments. The Romans gave the town the name of Cortex, meaning protection or defence. |

Places to Visit: |
||||||
|
Many buildings in Cortes date from the 18th-century, the most prominent of these being the elegant sandstone building of the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall), with a neo-classical faįade, which was constructed in 1784. Several other buildings are from the same period, such as the town's church, the Iglesia de Nuestra Seņora del Rosario, the Casa de los Valdenebros (1763) and the Casa Parroquial (built in 1700). The curious Casa de Piedra (Stone House) is a rock that was carved out in Moorish times. |
