Pizarra is a typical valley village, the only one
which is completely traversed by the River Guadalhorce,
featuring a green landscape with abundant fruit trees
and vegetable gardens, dominated by La Sierra del
Hacho. The village’s origins date back to the
time of the Catholic Monarchs, and its most noteworthy
monuments are Saint Peter’s Church, the Count
of Puerto Hermoso’s Palace and Virgin of The
Fuensanta Chapel; also to be found in Pizarra is a
museum exhibiting the works of the painter Gino Hollander.
History
The region must have been inhabited in Roman era,
though insufficient relics exist to determine an exact
period. Its name appears in records for the first
time at the end of the 15th century, when the Catholic
Monarchs awarded land in "the Pizarra area"
to Don Pedro Romero in return for capturing Alora.
