Gracchurris, Roman archaeological site in Alfaro, Spain

The remains of Gracchurris extend across the Eras de San Martín area, featuring structures from the Roman period and a substantial ritual pool.

Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus established Gracchurris in 179 BC during the First Celtiberian War, replacing the previous Celtiberian settlement of Ilurcis.

The city minted its own bronze coins under Emperor Tiberius, displaying the emperor's portrait and bull symbols representing local traditions.

The archaeological site stands north of Alfaro near the Alhama River, with open access for visitors to explore the ancient Roman structures.

The ritual pool complex includes a preserved northern wall stretching 25 meters in length and reaching heights of 2.5 meters.
