More about this place…
Barely 4 kilometres from the city of Jaén lies the Oppidum, or Iberian city, of Puente Tablas. Known since the 1970s, the opening of the visitor centre has at last given this site of incalculable archaeological value the recognition it deserves. Research in recent years has uncovered a ritual linked to the spring and autumn equinoxes, centred on the Puerta del Sol and a female deity, and identified private rooms (banqueting halls, a chapel) and areas devoted to trades (wine presses, ovens, stores). The visitor centre helps visitors understand the customs and daily life of the Iberians and how the settlement evolved.
