History
Lying on the point where the flows into the Guadalquivir river and also close to the Guadalimar, the nearby Iberian oppidum of Illiturgi (Cerro de la Muela) was besieged and destroyed by Scipio Africanus in 206 BCE during the Second Punic War.[2]
Mengíbar was conquered by Ferdinand III of Castile together with other neighbouring fortified places as a part of the preliminary steps leading to the 1246 siege of Jaén.[3] It was a hamlet belonging to the land of Jaén in the lower middle ages.[4] It segregated from the land of Jaén in 1574.[5]
