التاريخ
 |
The sculpture of the Lady of Baza is a prehistoric artifact discovered in this area on 22 July 1971. The city was founded by the Iberians in the 4th century BC and named Basti, the name by which it was known in Roman times. As part of the Roman province of Tarraco, it was an important commercial center [2] and an early bishopric (see below).
Under the Moors, Baza was an important frontier post along the border with the kingdom of Murcia. It was also a major commercial center, with a population upward of 50,000, making it one of the three most important cities in the Kingdom of Granada.
بسطة فقد تحدث عنها صاحب "ذكر بلاد الأندلس" قائلاً: "وهي مدينة متوسطة كثيرة الخيرات والبركات والزرع والضرع، يصنع بها الوطا وبها الحرير الكثير، وبها الزعفران الكثير الذي ما في بلاد الأندلس أطيب منه، وبها من شجر التوت ما لا يحصى وبفحصها حمة قوية".[3]
Under Islamic rule (713 – 1489), the cathedral, founded by the Visigoth king Reccared in about 600, and whose traditional site is occupied by the ancient church of San Máximo, was converted into a mosque[2] and the bishopric was doomed.
In 1489, during the Granada War, the city fell to Queen Isabella I of Castile, after a stubborn defense lasting seven months. The cannons still adorn the Alameda.
في 10 أغسطس 1810, French forces under Marshal Nicolas Jean de Dieu Soult defeated a large Spanish force near the town.[2]
Transport
Until 1985, Baza was served by a railway station on the Ferrocarril del Almanzora, which linked Murcia del Carmen to Granada via Lorca, Baza and Guadix. Reopening this line has been proposed.[4]
The northern branch of the A-92 highway also passes next to the town.
Cultural references
The 1489 siege of Baza is described in Washington Irving's book The Conquest of Granada.
