Riogordo Archaeological Sites

The first settlements were at a spring in the area (a flow of thick water), so called because of the minerals it contained. From this period are the remains found in the Tajo de Gomer, and from the Bronze Age in the Cerro de la Capellanía. There are also traces of Phoenician colonisation and remains of Roman domination in the Mosaics of the Villa de Auta, which date from the 3rd century.
