Roda has been historically in passing earth, this fact ago difficult to determine its more remote antecedents. Inside their municipal term Iberian remains and other later belonging to the Roman stage have been located. It seems to be that the name of Roda derives, according to the experts, of the term Arab "rotba", related with a tax that was paid by the step of livestocks or of "robda", vigilant old militia of opposite and roads that were about around the castles. It was this the name that he/she received the old castle located in the place where today he/she is the parochial church and where the "arrobdas" or vigilant collectors took refuge. Passing the Half High Age, toward 1200, Roda, probably, it was rescued of the Muslims by the Castilian king's hosts Alfonso VIII. Then, when in the year 1305 the king Fernando IV of Castile grant all the earth that you/they composed the Dominion from Alarcón to Infante Don Juan Manuel, nephew of Alfonso X the Sage, Roda it is low the protection of this. In 1310 the infant Don Juan Manuel grants the concession from the jurisdictional limits to the municipality. When Juan II donate the city of Alarcón and their environment to the Marquis of Villena, Roda definitively will be part of this marquisate until it is segregated of him by own initiative in 1476 incorporating this way to Reyes' Catholics Crown. During the Renaissance period Roda will experience a notable economic development and growth that it will be reflected in the art and the local architecture.
