Ciudad romana de Ocuri

Monument · Ubrique, Sierra de Cádiz, Cádiz

A Roman archaeological site located at the Salto de la Mora, one kilometre from the urban centre of Ubrique (Cádiz), whose remains were discovered in 1792 by Juan Vicente Vegazo Montesdeoca. Its stratigraphy spans from the Bronze Age to the Andalusi period. A cyclopean wall, a forum, baths of notable extent, a mausoleum, cisterns of private dwellings and a columbarium with niches beside the main entrance are preserved. Following the excavations by Manuel Cabello Janeiro in the 1970s and by Salvador de Sancha Fernández, the site was incorporated into the Archaeological Route of the Pueblos Blancos, which has equipped it with an interpretation centre and signposted access for visitors.
