Yacimiento arqueológico de Doña Blanca, Archaeological site in El Puerto de Santa María, Spain

The Yacimiento arqueológico de Doña Blanca is an archaeological site in El Puerto de Santa María, Spain. It covers a low hill near the Guadalete river and contains the remains of an ancient settlement, with visible foundations of walls and streets.

The site was first settled in the 8th century BC and later became a Phoenician trading post. It was abandoned in the 4th century BC, but some structures were reused in later periods.

The name Doña Blanca comes from a local legend about a woman who lived on the hill. Today, visitors can see the outline of ancient houses and imagine how people lived there long ago.

The site is best visited in the morning or late afternoon, when the light is softer and the heat is less intense. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, as the ground is uneven and there is little shade.

Archaeologists have found a small clay mask at the site, which is unusual for this region. The mask is now kept in a local museum.
