The Almodóvar hill, located next to the Guadalquivir riverbed, has been a strategic place throughout history. The first settlements in the area date back to the Lower Paleolithic, with several documented sites, such as those of the railway station and the mouth of the Arroyo del Temple and de los Mochos, which have provided stone tools such as bifaces. Traces of the Chalcolithic were also found in a cave in Cerro del Castillo.
Bronze Age and Iberian Period
The Orientalizing Late Bronze Age is represented by sites at the confluence of the Guadalquivir and Guadiato rivers, and in Cerro del Castillo, where Iberian ceramics and a stone frieze with hunting scenes dating from the 4th and 3rd centuries BC were also found.
Roman Period
During the Roman period, the population was concentrated around Cerro del Castillo, with findings of amphorae, coins and burial tombs. It is generally associated with Carbula, an oppidum mentioned by Pliny. The area was important in the production and trade of olive oil, evidenced by numerous archaeological sites and potteries near the Guadalquivir River. Underground aqueducts such as those of Cortijo Nuevo and Fuenreal are also notable. The habitat continued into the Visigothic period, as evidenced by funerary inscriptions from the 6th and 7th centuries.
Muslim Period
With the Muslim conquest, a fortress was built on the hill in 740, and the town was named al-Mudawwar al-Adna, meaning "the round one". The fortress formed part of the cora of Córdoba, and later of the taifas of Carmona and Seville, and under the Almoravids, it returned to the jurisdiction of Córdoba. In the 12th century, it became dependent on the Almohad court of Seville.
In 1226, the Muslim king of Baeza was beheaded in Almodóvar del Río for treason. The town remained under Islamic influence until 1240, when it was incorporated into the Crown of Castile during the reign of Ferdinand III. In 1243, it was handed over to the Council of Córdoba.
Middle Ages and Modern Age
In 1394, Fadrique de Castilla, illegitimate son of Enrique II, died a prisoner in the castle of Almodóvar del Río. During the 15th century, the castle was owned by the House of Baena and Cabra. The town was used as a royal residence and prison, as evidenced by an order of the Royal Council in 1491. In 1473, the name Almodóvar del Río is documented for the first time.
During the reign of Philip IV, the jurisdiction and lordship of the town were sold to Francisco Corral y Guzmán. The population decreased considerably from 1,600 residents in 1530 to 800 at the end of the Modern Age, with the majority working as day laborers in the fields. The main crop was cereal, followed by olives and grapes, and livestock, especially goats.
19th Century and the Liberal Revolution
The liberal revolution at the beginning of the 19th century had a great socio-economic impact on Almodóvar del Río. The disappearance of the feudal regime and the ecclesiastical and municipal confiscations consolidated the latifundia, which generated a high level of social conflict, manifested during the Second Republic and the Spanish Civil War.
