Calahorra, Ancient Roman settlement in La Rioja, Spain.

Located at the confluence of Ebro and Cidacos rivers, Calahorra stands at an elevation of 358 meters with extensive archaeological remains from Roman times.

The settlement defended against Roman general Pompey from 76 to 72 BC, eventually becoming an important administrative center named Calagurris Nassica Iulia.

The Gothic cathedral, restored in 1485, contains the remains of patron saints Emeterius and Celedonius, marking the religious significance of this municipality.

Modern Calahorra functions as an agricultural center, operating numerous canneries that process local vegetables including peppers, tomatoes, and artichokes.

The birthplace of Roman rhetorician Quintilian features remnants of ancient Roman structures including an aqueduct, circus, and public baths.
