Ciavieja
Ciavieja was an ancient Roman city located in Hispania. It was the political and administrative center of territorium Murgitanum, which extended up to sierra de Gádor and Mediterranean Sea to the south, and to Urci and Abdera to the east and west, respectively.
It was mentioned by Pliny the Elder, who described its boundaries between Tarraconensis and Baetica. Claudius Ptolemy placed it between Detunda and Salduba, two turduli cities.
The oldest finds date back to the Copper Age. Evidence of settlement has been located from the Bronze Age to Roman Hispania, a period from which the civitas stipendiaria of Murgi dates. In 1983 a mosaic was discovered by Andrés Ramírez Franco, an engineer who used a metal detector. The archaeological excavation started two years later, and its works are being carried out until today, including guided visits.
