Antequera, Historical municipality in Andalusia, Spain.
The city extends across 749 square kilometers of terrain at 575 meters elevation, surrounded by limestone mountains and fertile agricultural plains.
The strategic location between Málaga and Córdoba made Antequera a vital military stronghold, leading to its capture from Moorish forces in 1410.
The ancient Antequera Dolmens, consisting of three megalithic structures from the Bronze Age, represent the architectural capabilities of prehistoric settlements.
Four major Andalusian cities connect through Antequera via high-speed rail lines and motorways, making it a central transportation hub in southern Spain.
El Torcal Natural Park contains limestone formations shaped through millions of years of erosion, creating patterns that resemble stacked coins.
