On the top of the hill a Visigothic religious and palatial complex has been excavated: a basilica of three aisles divided by columns, with an apse at the east end and a tripartite baptistery at the west, and against its north side a monumental building that appears to be the residence and administrative seat of the bishopric. A cemetery reserved for the elite lay around it. It has been dug since 1988 and the site can be visited.

We count visits ourselves, with no cookies and nothing stored on your device. To count people rather than clicks, we keep a one-way code derived from your connection and browser for at most 48 hours and then delete it; what remains is totals per page that identify no one.
