Colonia Salaria, Roman colony near Úbeda, Spain.
Archaeological ruins of a Roman settlement stretch across an elevated position along the Guadalquivir River, featuring ancient walls and architectural elements.
Founded during Augustus reign, Colonia Salaria controlled salt production and trade routes between Carthago Nova and the Guadalquivir Valley in the Tarraconense province.
The settlement evolved from an Iberian city called Iltiraka to become one of eleven Roman colonies in Tarraconensis, with its own mint for coin production.
Located 15 kilometers southeast of Úbeda, the archaeological site contains visible remains of walls extending 46 meters in length and reaching heights of 6 meters.
Recent topographic studies from 2019 indicate the presence of buried structures including an amphitheater and a circus beneath the current ground level.
