Partial view of one of the consolidated sections of the archaeological excavation at Cerro de las Cabezas near Valdepeñas (Ciudad Real) in Spain.
Cerro de las Cabezas is an archaeological site of Ibero-Oretani origin, located about 8 km south of the present-day city of Valdepeñas, in the province of Ciudad Real (exit 208 of the A-4 southbound, with no signposting northbound). The site is located on a hill approximately 800 metres high, and covers the area between the summit and the eastern slope, an area that has been partially destroyed by the construction of the Autovía A-4 that links Madrid with Andalusia.
The site was inhabited from the 6th to the 2nd century BC. Excavation began at the base of the hill. It is a walled city, of which the foundations of the houses and the plinths of the outer wall, made of large blocks of stone that fit perfectly together, have been preserved in their entirety. On top of these would have been the actual walls, made of adobe, which have now disappeared. The location of the site is due to strategic reasons for the control of the route between the Guadalquivir marshes, and therefore Andalusia, and the Meseta Sur.
This site has nothing to do with the city of Edeba, as some believe, whose existence is attested by the inscription on a Roman decempondo (weight measure) from the time of the Emperor Trajan, discovered, as Eusebio Vasco states, in the Virgen de la Cabeza area, on the road from Valdepeñas to Torrenueva, 11 km south of Valdepeñas and 1 km north of Torrenueva, at the end of the 19th century.[1]
