INTRODUCTIONIn this project I´m going to talk about the diferents periods of Iznalloz´s history. This

town was very important in the Middle Age and Prehistory

In this place there were musterienses fields: culture or Mousterian technique is based on the use of stone tools in the Middle Paleolithic. There were printed

ceramic and a necropolis, too.

The Romans were in Iznalloz, called Acatucci. One of the most important vestiges we have of that time is El togado de Periate. A statue of the first

century that represent Claudius II

MIDDLE AGE:

Iznalloz was one of the Seven Villages of Granada, a barn of cereals that supplied

the capital.

MODERN TIME:

In the sixteenth century Diego de Siloé built the Church of Iznalloz. With this church, he practiced the construction and decoration of the Cathedral of

Granada.

CONTEMPORARY TIME:

In 1895 the first train arrives at Iznalloz, for this fact, people made a tunnel through all the town. So Iznalloz was known

as the first Spanish town with subway.
