The territory of Puebla de Don Fadrique has some of the best examples of archaeological sites of the first millennium BC in eastern Andalusia. Unfortunately none of them has been the subject of an archaeological dig still allowing them to value and musealizarlos, but given the exceptional preservation of the same is possible to visit and appreciate the potential of these and its historical siginificado.

This tour will visit two Iberian settlements, Molata of Casavieja and Cerro de la Cruz, and a small Roman castellum, Cerro del Trigo, which is spread by the municipality of Puebla de Don Fadrique, complementing existing information about them in Municipal Museum. These fields are inserted in the historical context of the conflict between Rome and Carthage imperial for control of the Iberian Peninsula, which will end with the extermination of the Iberian elites of this country and its romanization or inclusion in the Roman state formation, a lengthy process lasted nearly two hundred years (between the third century BC and BC).
