With a history stretching back to Roman times, the Muslims created Zuheros proper and built a castle here which was captured by the Christians in 1241 and became one of the vital defences against Muslim rule in Granada. The church here is dedicated to the patron saint of the village, the Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios. It is a 16th century structure with a, 18th century bell tower |

The Cueva de los Murciélagos (the cave of bats) is found in the hills near Zuheros. Some important prehistoric remains were found here in the last century which proved to be revealing of Neolithic bu!rial practices. Inside the caves, nearly 100 bodies were found, some of them positioned in a semi-circle around a woman decorated with sea-shells, some of them in a semi-mummified state. It was deduced that the cave was a burial chamber of an important chief who had wanted his servants and friends with him in death as well as life. |
