Orippo

The excavation area extends across the Cortijo de Tixe region, near Torre de los Herberos, along the edges of Guadalquivir marshlands.

The settlement dates back to the third century BCE when Turdetani people established their presence before Romans transformed it into a tributary city.

Archaeological findings include a remarkable sculpture known as Marriage of Orippo, depicting a seated couple holding hands, currently displayed at Seville Archaeological Museum.

The site contains three distinct sections: a craftwork area with pottery kilns, a necropolis with 66 graves, and an urban zone affected by land movements.

During Roman times, Orippo maintained its own mint and served as the fifth stopping point on the route connecting Corduba with Gades.
