The archaeological finds of the Lady of Baza and the Torso of Guerrero date from this historical period.~~The Carthaginian general Hamilcar, according to the account of Titus Livius, died in his flight towards Basti when he was defeated by the Hispanic leader Orison in 230 BC.~~An important city in Roman Hispania, it played an important role in the trade and exchange of goods between the Levantine coast and the inland areas.~~In the first half of the 13th century, the Arab leader Ibn al-Alhamar, lord of Arjona, took the cities of Jaén, Baza (1234) and Guadix, proclaiming himself king, which would lead, five years later, to the formation of the Nasrid kingdom of Granada.~~It was taken by the Christians in 1325 and recovered several years later by Abu Valid. The chronicles lead us to believe that the Arabs tried out the use of artillery in the siege of the town, perhaps for the first time in Europe.~~After six months of siege and several attempts by El Zagal to help, Baza surrendered to the Catholic Monarchs in December 1489. Its defender, Cid Hiaya, was baptised in the royal tent of the Catholic Monarchs and took the name of D. Pedro de Granada, fighting with the Christian forces in subsequent military operations.~~The subsequent Christianisation of the region meant the expulsion of the Moors and the end of the coexistence of three cultures, Muslim, Catholic and Jewish, which had been a historical constant in Al-Andalus for eight centuries.~~There is evidence to suggest that Miguel de Cervantes was in Baza as a Judge Executor of the Royal Treasury, around 1604.~~ ~~NOTE: The price indicated does not include taxes or deed expenses, nor agency fees.
