Oppidum ibero de Puente Tablas, Ancient Iberian settlement in Jaén, Spain.

The archaeological site features defensive walls, residential areas, a prince's palace, and a sanctuary on two hills overlooking the Guadalbullón River.

Between the 5th and 1st centuries BCE, this fortified settlement controlled trade routes and natural resources along the upper Guadalquivir valley.

The site reveals complex urban planning with rectangular buildings, courtyards, and specialized production areas that demonstrate advanced Iberian social organization.

The archaeological site opens Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, with an interpretation center providing detailed information about the settlement.

Recent geophysical surveys using 3D ground-penetrating radar revealed a 160-square-meter production area from the 5th-4th centuries BCE.
