We visited on a Tuesday and the entrance was free, there was plenty of parking, and it’s a beautiful location. There is a museum to walk through that explains the life of the town and its fish industries and displays some of the art and artifacts recovered from the site. The actual grounds are very interesting to see and parts are surprisingly well preserved for being 2200+ years old. We spent about an hour and a half here and really enjoyed it. The beach next to it is beautiful as well
It was a well presented experience with some restricted movement because of COVID. Friendly and service minded staff. Displayed areas were well signed in both Spanish and English. Adequate general and handicapped parking. This is a gaditano jewel that should not be missed by those with even a slight interest in Roman history of the immediate area. Great value for price, a euro fifty.
A magical place. You can see North Africa across the strait. It’s very windy and there are spirits all around. This city had a garum factory, taking advantage of the abundance of fish in these waters. Garum was a fermented fish sauce which was a popular condiment in the Roman world.
I could imagine Roman soldiers coming by sea and seeing this wonderful city on the hill with its three temples overlooking the sea.wow
If you get to an elevated position you'll see 3 countries Gib, Marruecos & Spain, the Mediterranean Sea & the Atlantic Ocean with Roman ruins in the middle ground! Stunning. No other word for it.
