==History== A fort covering 13,000 square meters with three concentric walls, three ditches, and 25 towers was constructed in the area 4,900 years ago. The fort was destroyed and the area burnt 400 years after its construction in 2450 BC. It is similar to the Los Millares site. No known human activity occurred in the area until the 100–200s AD. The Missorium of Theodosius I, one of the best surviving examples of late Roman imagery, was found here.
