Montoro

Montoro stretches along a pronounced bend of the Guadalquivir River, positioned on a hilltop at 195 meters above sea level in Córdoba Province.

The settlement originated as Roman Epora, a civitas foederata of the Conventus Cordubensis, later evolving into a municipium during Augustus' reign.

The municipality received recognition as a Historic-Artistic Site in 1969, preserving its medieval structures and Renaissance architectural elements throughout the urban center.

The town maintains direct road connections to Córdoba, located 45 kilometers southwest, with regular transport services connecting to major Andalusian cities.

On August 14, 2021, Montoro recorded one of Spain's highest temperatures at 47.4 degrees Celsius, marking a significant meteorological milestone.
