Montilla, Wine municipality in Córdoba Province, Spain
The municipality spreads across undulating terrain with gentle hills at 371 meters above sea level, surrounded by extensive vineyards and olive groves.
After its conquest from Moorish control in 1237 by Ferdinand III, the settlement evolved from Mondelia to become an official city in 1630 under Philip IV.
The Casa del Inca Garcilaso, constructed with ashlar stone, served as residence for the Peruvian writer who documented the Inca Empire from 1561 to 1591.
The local economy centers on viticulture, producing notable wines such as Pedro Ximénez and Amontillado, while also maintaining limestone and gypsum quarries.
The Wine Museum of Andalucia opened in 2015 within the restored granary building that replaced the original medieval castle destroyed in 1508.
