One of those many magical places in La Alpujarra, this pit (vertical wall, elevation) is accessed by the path of the fort, in front of the Eras de la Cruz. It is a wide ravine formed by the Rambla de Nieles.

El Fuerte Fortress

Highlight • Historical Site

Mozarabic fortress built in the 8th century and was of great importance in the Middle Ages. It was conquered by Abd-el-Rahman III in 913 to crush the revolt of Omar Ben Hafsun. During the rebellion of the Moors in the year 1500, Ferdinand the Catholic reconquered it and destroyed it to prevent new rebellions. In 1572 it was repopulated with Christian settlers from Castile.

Juviles Clock Tower

Highlight • Monument

This town is another good place, like so many in this area, to rethink the history of the reconquest. In the specific case of Juviles, it was ordered to be destroyed by King Ferdinand the Catholic due to the resistance he had shown. Later, due to the protection offered by its people to the Moors, they were all exiled and the town was repopulated with Castilian settlers.
