    These ancient Roman quarries from the 1st and 2nd centuries are located on the seafront and were used to supply stone for the buildings that the Romans built in this area.

    The area was an important enclave of the Roman Via Augusta, which linked the cities of Ilici (Elche) and Cartago Nova (Cartagena).

    You can see the square holes left by the stonemasons when extracting the large blocks of sandstone.

    The stones can still be found in buildings in the region today. Even though the buildings fell into disrepair over time, the stones were reused for new buildings. Interesting. Nice tour.
