Exploration of the Plaza de Armas Archaeological Site

The Plaza de Armas Archaeological Site represents the authentic civil and historical origin of Écija, allowing for the tracing of overlapping strata of civilizations ranging from the Tartessian and Iberian period to the Roman and medieval domination of the city. A fundamental enclave to understand the urban evolution of ancient Astigi throughout the millennia.

The facilities allow you to contemplate remains of defensive walls, housing structures, and ancient roads preserved 'in situ'. The visits allow the public to familiarize themselves with the work of archaeologists and understand the strategic importance that this elevated enclave next to the Genil river had since the most remote antiquity.

Access subject to municipal scheduling and institutional guided tours. It is a highly recommended cultural option for those looking to connect directly with the subterranean hidden history of the town.
