History
The excavations of Roman villas discovered in the AREA origins indicate that the origins of the village date back to Roman times.
During the period of Al-Andalus it became quite important and the first historic records are from that time. It was called Bollullas, which means little tower, and Boro Bolullos. The Hermitage of Cuatrovitas, which dates back to that period, is a former 12th century almohad mosque used as the religious centre of four villas. At present it is considered a National Monument.
