Its name comes from the Arabic and means Valley of the birds. According to the chroniclers, it was founded by the Saracens and reconquered by Álvar Fáñez, then dependent on Alcolea del Torote. For centuries it belonged to the alfoz of Alcalá, then it became a prelactici lordship and then the crown.

It is presumably the work of the late fifteenth or early sixteenth. In its restored interior, a modern altarpiece appears in the background, with the Archangel in the center, and on its sides some paintings by Carmen Vives Camino.

At the exit of the town towards Alovera, today framed by well-kept gardens, is the Soledad hermitage, a very typical 18th-century building, with a wide porch, a single nave, a wide transept and a dome with a lantern, successfully restored . Its factory is made of brick and stone facing. The portico was built around 1955. With a single nave, it has a marked transept and a high central body with a vault over the transept. Inside the temple there is a valuable image of the Virgin, from the 18th century. The hermitage of Soledad is a religious construction from the 17th century, with a wide portico. It is distributed in a single nave with a dome. Inside it houses an image of the patron saint of Azuqueca, carved by Don Juan Pascual Merino.

Dating from the end of the 15th century or the beginning of the 16th century, it is a church with a Latin cross plan, with a brick bell tower. Remarkable as the most significant element and of greatest artistic interest is the Renaissance-style lateral loggia that serves as an atrium, with five lowered semicircular arches with Ionic capitals and tondos on the spandrels of the arches. Inside, the decorative elements (altarpieces, paintings) are contemporary.

Water supply system from the 18th century. It supplied water for the old Palace of the Marqués de Campoflorido and the village garden through a novel system of "hydraulic ram and" communicating vessels "installed in two towers that supplied from a spring to the palace (400 meters). In the place there is an explanatory poster. Be respectful of the environment and our historical legacy 🇪🇦. Interesting as the end of the route and enjoy the sunset.
