Archaeological sites Spain

5 km from the town, the oldest remains of this town, dating from the Chalcholitique (the third millennium BC), are located in the first Gisement I deposit, and account for a larger period for the second, Castillejo II, which houses vestiges from the Neolithic (4 th Millennium BC.) to the Romans. On this second site, you will notice the urban route and the robust defensive structures. Explanatory panels are located on both locations.

This is the little jewel of Puente Genil, not to be missed. The excavations exhumed a Roman villa from the th century BC to the fourth after I.C., and we can admire a collection of mosaic frescoes, both geometric and figurative (including three devoted to the life of Leading). These are particularly impressive, but beyond it is the entire life of a Roman city that can be apprehended during the proposed didactic circuit. From mid-June to the end of September, the evening starting at 20 a. m., the venue hosts «nights» offering many activities: théâtralisées visits, piano or poetry recitals, concerts, conferences or wine tastings… Roman.

The name of this site has long been misleading, suggesting that it was a kind of convent where young noble women were cared for by priestesses until their marriage. This hypothesis has now been completely ruled out. It is in fact a very imposing collective granary, dug more than 800 years ago by the Aborigines. A total of 350 cavities, arranged on several levels to shelter cereals, the main resource of Gran Canaria. A circuit has been set up along this fortress, with explanatory panels and watchtowers.

During the visit of the archaeological site, the curious can walk in a neighbourhood of the city erected under Hadrian, and continue its journey in the city centre of Santiponce where the theatre and the minor thermal baths stand.
