Frigiliana is a delightful place to take a break, only 6 kms from Nerja and 50 minutes from Malaga Airport. Frigiliana offers the best of both worlds; you can choose to while away the day relaxing on the beach at Burriana or relax in the tranquil setting of a traditional white village getting to know the locals.
Among the historical remains found in the municipality of frigiliana, on the walks around the rivers and countryside are strata from Neolithic days until the Bronze Age. Also, there is 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.
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 last remaining cane sugar factory in Europe.
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 (Cultural Centre).
