Presentation of Pozo Alcón

The municipality of Pozo Alcón (5,165 inhabitants in 2013; 13,861 ha; municipal website) is located 130 km south-east of Jaén, on the border with the Province of Granada. The municipality is made of the town of Pozo Alcón and of the village of El Fontanar (453 inhabitants).

Pozo Alcón was first mentioned in 1331, as Pocuelo, an uninhabited place part of Cazorla. After the conquest of Granada, the area, known as El Pozo de Campo Cuenca, was progressively settled. In 1579, the estate counted 80 households and another 60 in the neighborhood. Pozo Alcón was granted the status of villa on 12 July 1648 by Philip IV, separating from Quesada.
