Opening hoursWarning: in October 2026 there are reports that access via the MA-7402 is cut off by a landslide and the site is closed. We haven't been able to confirm this: call 951 041 452 before you go.
About
- Roman city at about 1,000 m altitude, on a plateau with views over half the Serranía
- Roman theatre: the seating carved into the rock and much of the stage wall are still standing
- 1st-century BC baths and circular huts from the Bronze Age
- The city minted its own coins
Good to know
- Call before you go (951 041 452): access may be cut off
- There is no shade: go early in summer and bring water
- The views from the theatre seating, with half the Serranía in front of you, are the best thing about the place
- Site of Cultural Interest since 2011
