Torre Alocaz, Medieval ruins in Utrera, Spain

The remains of Torre Alocaz stand on both sides of the road connecting Seville to Cadiz, featuring architectural elements from multiple historical periods.

The settlement originated as Ugia, a strategic point along the ancient Via Augusta that connected Gades, now Cadiz, to Orippo, present-day Dos Hermanas.

The name Torre Alocaz evolved from the indigenous term Ukya through various linguistic transformations, reflecting the Phoenician and Celtic influences in the region.

The archaeological site maintains its designation as a Cultural Heritage site since 1993, with specific regulations governing visits and preservation efforts.

Archaeological excavations at Torre Alocaz revealed gray ceramic artifacts that indicate early Phoenician settlements in this strategic location between major cities.
