The first human remains found in this town date back to the Chalcolithic. The “La Alquería” site comes from this period, consisting of a tomb in a covered gallery. The Historical future of what is now Villarrasa is linked to the Roman Ilipla, the Visigoth Elepla, the Muslim Lebla and the Niebla de los Guzmanes.
