The inhabitants of the Mediterranean coast on the Iberian Peninsula were known to the Greeks as the Iberians. These peoples flourished and prospered in our lands, coexisting with the Phoenicians who later arrived in the Mediterranean and were ultimately absorbed by the Romans.
The Warriors and Iberian Citadels Route takes you through the rich history of Andalusia, a region that was a melting pot of cultures during antiquity. Here, the Iberians, Phoenicians, and Romans left their mark, building cities, establishing trade routes, and leaving a cultural legacy that can still be seen today.
From ancient Iberian citadels to the remnants of Phoenician and Roman settlements, this route offers a fascinating insight into the history of Andalusia. Along the way, you can explore archaeological sites, visit museums, and immerse yourself in the history of the peoples who once called this region home.
The Iberian population of Andalusia was indigenous and came from the Neolithic period. During the Chalcolithic period, when societies became increasingly complex and advanced, the Iberian people emerged and managed to prosper and establish themselves in various territories. The presence of Iberian remains is particularly significant in Jaen, Granada and Cordoba.
Jaen, a city rich in history, is home to a number of significant Iberian artifacts. These artifacts provide a glimpse into the lives of the Iberians, a group of people who played a crucial role in shaping the region's history.
In Jaen you can visit the museum where there are unique sculptures from the 6th century BF. In Linares there is another museum with objects found in the Iberian-Roman town of Castulo where you can still see the ancient walls of the city.
