Parque Arqueológico Cerrillo Blanco

The settlement of the Cerrillo Blanco Archaeological Park is an exceptional piece to understand not only the importance of the “Iberian oppidum" of Porcuna, but also the history of upper Andalusia itself and the entire Iberian world alike.

The sculptures found at this settlement are the most important and monumental of Iberian archaeology and key to understanding that culture at the culminating point of its consolidation, during the 5th century BC. These sculptures are displayed in the Museo Provincial de Jaén. Other Iberian pieces are exhibited in the Boabdil Tower of the Museo Arqueológico Municipal de Porcuna.

Other Assets of Cultural Interest are the walled enclosure of Los Alcores and the so-called Huerta del Comendador.

CerrilloBlanco is a burial mound from the Tartessian period ( 7th Century BCE) with 24 single sculptures in tomb and 1 megalithic with two individuals, where towards the 5th Century BC a destroyed Iberian sculpture of incalculable value for both the number of pieces (approximately 1400 fragments) as well as for its artistic quality was buried in ditches covered with large slabs. Furthermore, an Iberian necropolis superimposed over the previous incineration ( 4th-2nd Century BCE).

The site has a Visitor Reception at km. 1 on the road from Porcuna to Arjonilla.
