It has been long believed that the three towers which, together with a sheaf of wheat, up the shield of Torres de la Alameda, refer to the name the Arabs gave to the area to see their high fortifications. However, the archaeological remains that are preserved in the same municipality show that the origin of Torres de la Alameda we must go back to the period of Romanization. As in much of the region, in Torres vestiges of the passage of the Arabs. Specifically, the Mudejar style. But the Arabs also left Torres, given the terrain, predominantly clay, several hybrid bricks, which became one of the traditional industries of the town and still retains. Four centuries of Arab rule lasted this land, enough that Alfonso VI ordered the reconquest, giving the bishop of Toledo, Alcalá rights, which Torres was a part, as one of the “twenty-five villages” But Torres, like the nearby towns fell back into the hands of the Arabs and was conquered by King Alfonso VIII. Finally, Princess Juana of Portugal, daughter of Emperor Charles I, granted the title of 'Villa''and with it the final independence of Alcalá.
