Torremanzanas

The remote origin of the town lies in a Muslim castle; an old Almohad tower (XII-XIII century) located in the upper part of the town, known as the High House, gives the name to the municipality and is a symbol of it. After the Reconquest, it was annexed to the Crown of Aragon. Torremanzanas was dependent on the City of Jijona until its segregation in 1794, constituting itself since then in its own municipality. In 1805, he was granted the title of villa.
