Villanueva del Rosario

Repopulated in the late 16th century by shepherds in the upper Guadalhorce valley, it changed its name from Puebla del Saucedo to Villanueva del Rosario on becoming independent from Archidona; its parish church dates from 1760. It now has around 3,500 inhabitants.
Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Villanueva del Rosario
Monument
Built in 1760 and rebuilt in 1960 (blessed on 7 October of that year). It houses the image of the Virgen del Rosario, carved by the Málaga sculptor Palma and installed on 7 February 1938, and an altarpiece from the former convent of Santo Domingo in Archidona.
Fuente Vieja de Villanueva del Rosario

Fountain with two hand-carved stone troughs, historically used to water livestock; it gives its name to the housing development that surrounds it today.
