L'Alcúdia, Archaeological site in Elche, Spain.
The archaeological complex spans 11 hectares and contains structures from multiple civilizations, including Roman baths, forums, and Iberian houses.
The site marks the location of ancient Ilici, a Roman colony that flourished until the Moors established a new settlement in the surrounding area.
In 1897, farmers discovered the Lady of Elche sculpture at this location, marking a pivotal moment for understanding Iberian art and civilization.
The Interpretation Centre provides a twenty-minute introduction video and displays important artifacts, including painted vases from the Iberian period.
Beneath the visible structures lies a large underground Roman cistern that supplied water to residential areas through an extensive network.
