La Silla del Papa (Tarifa, Cádiz)

Abstract

The investigations engaged since 2007 on the site of La Silla del Papa (Tarifa, province of Cadix, Spain) have revealed an important hilly town, the likely birthplace of the bastulo-punic community who, under August, founded the town of Baelo. That hilly site, settled from the Xth to the Ist century B.C., has yielded numerous vestiges of a peculiar urbanism, partly conditioned by topographical constraints.
