Villa sevillana belonging to the judicial party of Steppe, Casariche extends on the plain of the River Mares like counterpoint to the excited orography of Steppe, municipality of which depended until its independence like city council. The municipality occupies a sector of the oriental fringe of the county, in area of olive groves and to some 120 kilometers of the capital.
The total population of the municipality ascended in 1.996, to 5.132 inhabitants that are distributed, besides in the own village of Casariche, among the Village of Farm Almeda and those disseminated of Low Riverside, The Riguelo and Vineyard Diego.
The historical origins of Casariche are to look for them in times of the Celtiberians; it was then when the city of Ventippo was founded, three kilometers to the north of the current city and in the bank of the Mares, like they testify the ruins that are conserved. The village passed to be integrated to the little one in the Roman possessions of the south, and one of the most fundamental episodes in that whole stage lived, since it was scenario of the civil war between two of the Latin triunviros: Gneo Great Pompeyo and Key Julio Caesar. The population took left by the loser, being to the help of the children of Pompeyo until Caesar, once besieged the area, conquered it for its faction. From then on and until the arrival of the Muslims the chronicle is darkened by lack of documented data. Already in Arab time it was part of the Waliato of Steppe and it stood out for their importance like urban nucleus. Later the Christian would arrive and the place surrendered in reward and made out to order dominion of Santiago.
In the XVI century it changed owner with the creation for Felipe II of the Marquisate of Steppe, negotiated to Adam Centurion, admiral of the Spanish squad. The one that had been a prosperous village was a so much relegated, by way of neighborhood or outlying nucleus of Steppe, although at least in 1.788 it was already City council.
The city-planning structure of the village comes determined by two elements that have determined its growth and development until the current moment, these they are the bed of the river Mares and the railroad. The nucleus native is located on the left riverbank of the river, forming a quite orthogonal urban plot. The later expansions have taken place in an anarchical way toward all the addresses, and especially, between the bed and the railroad and to the west of the same one.
The remains of Ventippo even trace a very old past for a town more veteran of that than they indicate these Celtiberian and Roman vestiges. It stands out the location of The Hill of the Watchtower especially, where they have been important memories, in their Roman majority. Inside the city, it only deserves to highlight the church of Our Mrs. of the Incarnation, building of a single ship, of Latin cross that dates of the last third of the XVII one and it presents Baroque style, in spite of the important reformations and adaptations that it has suffered along their history.
