History

Under the Arab Andalusian period, it was named Canilles de Baça.

Conquered by the Catholic Monarchs in 1487, it was given as a landed state to Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, el Gran Capitán (the Great Captain).

A century later, once the Moors were expelled, after the uprising they carried out in most of the old Nasrid kingdom of Granada, the village was depopulated. It was from 1468 it was inhabited again by people from the north of Spain.
