• The Oppidum, or Iberian City of Puente Tablas, was built in the mid-7th century BC.
  • The city is ringed by a thick wall, easy to make out from a distance.
  • Research has shown that it was an aristocratic city of Iberian princes.
  • Recent excavations uncovered a palace of about 400 square metres, the only one known in all of Andalusia.
  • The only known entrance to the Oppidum, called the Puerta del Sol, has a stele of a female deity, possibly devoted to fertility.
