Baelo Claudia, Roman archaeological site in Tarifa, Spain.
The archaeological complex contains buildings from ancient Rome, including a forum, temples, market areas, and a theater near the Bolonia Beach coast.
Founded in the 2nd century BC, Baelo Claudia developed from a small fishing settlement into a major Roman port connecting Spain with North Africa.
The site includes a fish-salting factory that produced garum, a fermented fish sauce distributed throughout the Roman Empire as a luxury food product.
Visitors can explore the archaeological remains through guided tours every Wednesday at 11:00, with advance reservations required for groups of 5 to 30 people.
Current excavations have uncovered only 20 percent of the ancient city, with ongoing archaeological work revealing new structures beneath the sandy terrain.
