Cerro de la Tortuga, Archaeological site in western Málaga, Spain.
Located three kilometers west of Málaga city center, the site extends across 29 hectares at an elevation of 174 meters above sea level.
The archaeological complex, discovered in 1959 by archaeologist Juan Manuel Muñoz Gambero, contains Iberian-Punic settlements with residential structures and burial grounds.
The summit area reveals evidence of ancient religious rituals through remnants of sanctuaries and multiple rock engravings from the Iberian-Punic period.
The site entrance begins near the Castañón de Mena military residence on Lope de Vega Avenue, with a hiking trail extending two to three kilometers.
From the hilltop, visitors can see 23 kilometers of Málaga coastline, stretching from La Cala del Moral to Torremolinos.
