(B) TEMPLE Click here for 360 pano Placed over an altar of the Punic period, the Temple consists of a single cella elevated on a podium and surrounded by columns on three of its sides. A grand stairway gave access to the podium. It must have conveyed a majestic appearance by its large size and height as well as its ornamental elements, capitals, cornices and a bull protomos [head and body] that completed the building.

The remains of a bathing pool is situated at the rear of the Temple.

(C) FORUM Click here for 360 pano The archaeological remains that appear next to the Temple indicate that the Forum, the centre of public life, extended along its front esplanade. The Forum is made of a platform constructed to elevate the rectangular shape of this great space. The exhumed buildings that can be observed include a small market or macellum, a noble house and a monumental stairway that permits access to the elevated area and to which stores were attached. In the 1 8th century, construction of the Cortijo [country estate] of Rocadillo and its outbuildings occurred directly on top of this magnificent terrace.

(D) VISIGOTH NECROPOLIS Tombs from the Visigoth period (6th and 7th centuries) surround the Temple. They are constructed from pieces of the existing Roman temple. This indicates re-utilisation, as well as the continuity of the space as sacred.

(E) BATH BUILDING Click here for 360 pano This is a building that was used not only as a bath, but also as a complex made up of spaces and large rooms destined for physical exercise, personal grooming, dressing rooms, public services, an open air pool, etc. It was equipped with the complete repertory of hot, warm, and cold water pools; noble materials, like marble, were used in its construction, which gives us a reference as to its past luxury and splendour.

(F) ROMAN NOBLE HOUSE Click here for 360 pano These are the remains of a noble house of the domus type, pertaining to a wealthy Carteian family. It has numerous rooms and a generous atrium surrounded by a peristyle and mosaic flooring. Next to the house it is still possible to walk along the paved Roman streets of the city.

(G) ROCADILLO TOWER Attached to the Roman wall and alongside its exterior towers, we find thIs watchtower. It was commissioned by the engineer Livadote, along with others in the same coastal system, at the end of the 16th century. Its square plan, and the offset that allows it to adapt to the unevenness of the terrain, confirm its medieval origin.

(H) Theatre Click here for 360 pano Archaeologists have not yet made a comprehensive study of this location. Very little is known apart from the estimated date of 1st century AD during the reign of Augustus. This was a time when a great number of monuments were built in the city in conjunction with a population explosion.
	The photograph above shows the area looking down from the rim of the bowl towards the stage. In reality the site is impressive with many identifiable features such as support columns, stage and seating terraces (shown in photographs opposite). The photograph above shows the depth to which the stage extends below the current surface level.
