It is known as Cerro del Castillo (“Castle Hill”), in Medina Sidonia, an enormous site in the process of excavation, located at the top of the hill on which the town sits.
Archaeological works have discovered, at least, the existence of three fortresses in that same place. The new buildings took the place of the previous one, replacing them completely. The remains of the Roman military castellum, the Arab fortress and the medieval castle have been found.
