A very picturesque old town, dating back to the first millennium BC. Its eventful history is reflected in its cityscape. Until the mid-19th century, it was even a bishopric. Defense has always been of paramount importance to this town. To protect itself from attackers, the town was built on a hill and is thus surrounded by a naturally formed moat. This defensive function is still omnipresent today, evident in the oversized city walls. However, the town's growth apparently could not keep pace with the expansion of the city walls. Today, despite the picturesque townscape and the beautiful surroundings, the population has been declining for years.

These rock formations create a very unique setting at the entrance to the town of Chequilla. Erosion over hundreds of thousands of years has formed these whimsical figures that serve as a tourist attraction for anyone who visits this small town.
