It is located in the southern part of the Huéscar region. It borders the municipalities of Huéscar, Galera, Cúllar, Benamaurel and Castril. Other nearby towns are Cortijos del Cura and San Marcos. The area where Castilléjar is located has served as a human habitat since Prehistory, as demonstrated by the archaeological sites of the Guardal caves. There are vestiges of an Iberian town called Castro de la Balunca that dates back to the 6th and 5th centuries BC. C., and later housed Bastetan tribes. The Arabs occupied their territory under the name "al-Qulayat" ("alcalá" or "castilleja"), until in 1488 it was reconquered by the Catholic Monarchs and became dependent on the House of Alba. After the expulsion of the Moors, the entire area was repopulated by people from the north of the Peninsula, mainly from the Basque Country, Navarre and Aragon; For this reason, surnames such as Abellán, Barea, Carricondo, Ibar, Iriarte, Lizarte, Mañas, Navarro, Uribe or Vegara are common. The name of the town was initially "Castillexa", and it remained as such until the end of the 18th century, before being renamed Castilléjar de los Ríos, of which only its current toponym remained. The Castillejaran town hall is made up of the towns of Castilléjar, Los Carriones and Los Olivos. Its municipal district is located in a fertile plain that extends along the banks of the Galera and Guardal rivers, with some of the most spectacular badland landscapes of the Granada Altiplano. It also has numerous cave houses, traditional from the regions of Eastern Andalusia and Murcia.--fadfbbb4cc41f9a31487e0ef9ca260d4!
