Places to be visited
Archaeological sites
Among the historical remains in the municipality are strata from
Neolithic days until the Bronze Age in the Cave of the Bats. There
is also a Phoenician burial ground at Cerrillo de las Sombras which
goes back to 800 BC. The Middle Ages is represented by the ninth
century Arabic castle, which was mainly destroyed after the Battle
of the Rock, although the foundations and traces of the wall have
survived.
Church of San Antonio
The main buildings in present-day Frigiliana are the parish church
of St Anthony, built on the site of an old shrine in 1676 by Manrique
de Lara, the family owning the village from May 1640 onwards. There
is also a sixteenth century Renaissance palace, which bears the
same family name although it is popularly known as El Ingenio, or
the sugar mill, as it currently houses the only cane sugar factory
in Europe.
Hermitage of Ecce Homo and other monuments
Other buildings include a tiny shrine, built in the sixteenth century
to the Holy Christ of the Cane, an old fountain dating from the
1600s, a silo built in 1767 and the seventeenth century Apero Palace.
This was originally built as stables and is nowadays used as the
Casa de Cultura.
