The archaeological site of Cástulo is one of the most visited annually in Andalusia and nationwide. The remains that survive today of the Iberian-Roman city occupy a strategic position in the Guadalquivir Valley, which made it at the time one of the most important economic and political centres of the peninsula.
With a Neolithic origin, it wasn't until the 2nd millennium B.C. that an important settlement emerged. An area that expanded over time and whose economy was primarily mining, with copper, lead, and silver mines being exploited. The best-preserved remains date back to the Iberian period (7th century B.C.). It was a point of conflict between Carthage and Rome during the Second Punic War, a conflict that ended with a Roman victory. The imperial occupation completely transformed urbanism and turned the city into a neuralgic point of Mediterranean trade.
The Mosaic of Loves, the baths, and figures like the lions are some of the most characteristic remains of this site, truly worth seeing.
Built: 2nd millennium B.C.
