In the area of Casas de Almansa there is a site dating from the Roman period. A mansio is a stopping place (which may be equivalent to what we call nowadays an inn) next to a Roman road, in this case the Via Augusta route which connected through the inland Játiva with Cádiz. His passage through the current municipality of Yecla corresponds to the so-called Traviesa de Caudete.
