In the Middle Ages it was the residence of kings, among others, Alfonso X the wise and this town gave refuge, in the outskirts of the town, to a large Jewish colony.

Closely linked, during the last century firstly, to the linen industry and later to leather, Allariz previously suffered a drop in population, however, in recent years its population has increased and currently it has around 6,000 inhabitants located in its 16 parishes.
