Image of Fuentealbilla, not of the place itself.

In 2008, a farmer ploughing in the municipal area of Fuentealbilla found a stone-carved human head from the Roman period, estimated to have been carved in the 3rd century; in accordance with heritage legislation, the piece was handed over to the Museo Arqueológico de Albacete, where it is kept today. Other remains of two ancient settlements have also been found in the municipality, including a stone horse's head and an Arab coin.
