Alozaina was abandoned by its Nasrid inhabitants in 1484 and was later repopulated by Castilian settlers; this is a unique circumstance, since, for this reason, the town never had a Moorish population.
The story of the heroine María Sagredo takes place against the backdrop of the 1570 rebellion by the Moriscos of the Serranía de Ronda, who attempted to seize the fortress that was under Castilian control.
The town’s coat of arms depicts the episode involving the beehives, which were used to repel the attack by the rebels, but this event does not appear in the chronicle by Luis de Mármol, a contemporary of the events; it is, however, mentioned in 18th-century documents, specifically in the information compiled for the Diccionario de Medina Conde.
The tower is the main remnant of the old fortress; it rises above the enclosure walls and blends in with the surrounding homes.
