The archaeological importance of the environment in which the site is located has been well known since ancient times, since the Cerro de Oreto is located nearby, which contains the ruins of the capital of Oretania, Oretum according to sources, (a Roman province that included from north to south beyond Sierra Morena and extended to the end of the Bética); the Cerro de los Obispos, an important Iberian site on whose slopes appeared some burials attributed to Visigothic bishops (one of them Bishop Amador, as recorded on the tombstone that covered his tomb); several late-Roman necropolises corresponding to that classical city and the Roman bridge over the Jabalón ordered to be built by Publio Baebio Venusto, dated between the end of the 1st century and the beginning of the 2nd century AD, and which has currently been covered by the waters of the Reservoir.

Numerous pieces belonging to different periods have been found, among which are coins, ceramics, farm elements, and loom stones.

The site was discovered after the archaeological excavations carried out in 1996 to consolidate the hermitage of Nuestra Señora de Oreto y Zuqueca, discovering Roman remains and a Visigothic necropolis.

In different archaeological campaigns, new remains have been found, such as the Arab baths discovered in the year 2000. In successive excavations in the necropolis, Ibero-Roman levels were reached. The stratification in which the different remains were found makes it difficult to separate them, the most distinctive being the Arab baths, a lime kiln and also the hermitage itself, which presents a spatial continuity with the necropolis.

Since 2006 the site has been conditioned for visits, placing metal walkways above it.

The archaeological site of Oreto and Zuqueca is an interesting place with remains belonging to different periods, mainly Iberian, Roman, Visigothic and Arab. I think you can visit with a guide on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 10:00 to 11:45. It is only 100 meters from the Jabalón river.
