The deposit has a chronology of more than 4,000 years, having constituted an important metallurgical nucleus that exploited the seams of copper ore from Sierra Morena, mainly azurite and malachite. It has a peculiar architecture of rectangular houses built with slate and arranged on artificial terraces connected by narrow streets.
