Abstract

The Alquife castle is one of the most importants in the Zenete (Granada), in an area of intense settlement during the medieval period caracterized by the intensive irrigated agriculture and the mining explotation. Alquife is, in this sense, the principal producer of iron since the XIth century after a process of production concentration. After the castilian conquest, the creation of a manor will introduce radical changes.
