The camera has rectangular floor with three ships. The greater than the sides, and these to the right and left, have an antecedent that is accessed by false arches with simulated capitel in their jambas. In the interior of the receptacles we can observe banks and poyetes to deposit the cineries and the joules. The side and central ships have niches on the walls to receive offerings. The construction of about four meters in length by almost three meters wide is made with large armchairs adjusted to the time of its assembly and covered by a structure of large slabs. The whole construction is of a monumental character, cyclopean by the size of some armchairs and dintels. In terms of its content, we must refer to the recovered, and among all this we highlight the Greek ceramics of red figures, especially the crateras and the metal elements among which the remains of a car stand out. His chronology includes it within the Iberian culture of the end of the S. V and the beginning of the IV before Christ. The aim of this stop is to show how a main funeral chamber is and its meaning in the context of the Iberian aristocratic society. The Centre of the Principesque Tombs of Peal allows you to know the theme of the life of the ultratumba and the funeral rites.

In this necropolis was buried in the 5th century BC the most important impressive sculptural ensemble of all Iberian culture and that can now be seen in the Museum of Jaén.

In the archaeological site and in its Visitors Center you will find the keys to understanding this sculptural group and the meaning of death in the Iberian world. Cerrillo Blanco is a funerary tumulum of the Tartesic era (7th century BC) with 24 individual graves in pits and 1 megalytic in which two individuals were buried. Towards the 5th century BC, it was buried in ditches covered with large slabs, an Iberian sculptural set intentionally destroyed. Both by the amount of pieces (approximately 1400 fragments) and by their artistic quality is the most important of Iberian sculpture. This set tells us and tells us the story of how a group of aristocrats became powerful and came to rule the important city of Obulco in Porcra.

The visit to the site is complete with the Porcra Museum which is located in the 15th century Boabdil Tower, in the historic center of the town. This museum has an important collection of Ibero-Roman sculptures. The museum offers guided tours with prior appointment and activity programming throughout the year that you can find on your website:www.museoatocuna.com

The building where the Museum is located is a modern and avant-garde cultural infrastructure, built by the Junta de Andalucía, with more than 11,000 square meters and which has required an investment of more than 25.5 million euros. Located on the Paseo de la Estación, No. 41 of Jaén, in the heart of the capital, the Ibero Museum of Jaén aims to become a world reference of Iberian culture at the tourist, cultural and scientific level.

200 metres from the Ibero Museum is the Museum of Jaén, a container of Iberian pieces of art of extraordinary value, among others belonging to the Iberian sculptural ensemble of Cerillo Blanco de Porcra. The sculptures, which date back to the 5th century BC, tell us the mythical history of an aristocratic lineage, where the struggles of warriors are impressed by their great realism. The Museum of Jaén proposes two historical and two thematic tours: the Archaeology Section in which it highlights an important collection of Iberian times, in addition to other rooms dedicated to prehistory, Roman times, Spanish-Muslim culture and Visigoda culture; and the Fine Arts Section that offers us a vision of sculptures and paintings from the 14th to the 20th century.

It has two exhibition rooms and a courtyard of weapons, where the archaeological pieces of greater dimensions and weight are concentrated. Throughout the visit we can see various backgrounds, the fruit of the historical, cultural, archaeological, artistic and social development of Castellar.
From the prehistoric time we found axes and various stone supplies.

On the ground floor the remains of a Roman-era field have been musealized: coins, columns of buildings, etc.

In the next floor, objects of the Iberian culture of the Cueva de la Lobera shrine are exposed, one of the numerous archaeological sites of the municipal term of Castellar, a town whose origins are located in the final period of the Copper Age and the beginning of the Bronze Age.

The Archaeological Set of Catulo and its monographic museum in Linares are the ideal sites to know the cultural diversity of Andalusia. The Ibero-Roman city is located on the right bank of the Guadalimar River, it is one of the capital centers of the peninsular noon during the antiquity, both for the extension of its walled enclosure (70 hectares), and for its strategic position in the Alto Guadalquivir and its mining holdings of silver, lead and copper. The "oppidum"- or fortified city - of Cattulo, first, was the most important nucleus of the population of the Iberian Oretania and, later, was formed as a Roman municipality, becoming episcopal headquarters in the lower-imperial era.

Catulus, Ibero-Roman city

The archaeological area of Catulo comprises a vast surface where multiple evidence is overlapping which are expression of other forms of occupation. There are necropolis, factories, public infrastructure and other suburban facilities related to the Ibero-Roman city, but also other settlements from Prehistory to the low Middle Ages, which complete the historical value of this archaeological area. This complex stratigraphic and temporal sequence, which has reached our time in exceptional conditions of conservation and integrity, is a significant segment of the entire history of Andalusia.

The tour begins with the reception center, where the visitor will find all the keys to understand the historical development of the site. In the walls you can make a stop in the highest part of the city and visit the Gate of the Lions of the Republican period, where the famous León de Catulo, the best preserved of the entire Iberian peninsula, was discovered. In the central area of the plateau do not forget to make a tour of the different archaeological areas and to contemplate the spectacular "Mosaic of the Amores," considered one of the ten greatest discoveries of 2012 by the magazine National Geographic. Also in the same area you can see an important religious building within which the "Patena de Cristo" was discovered, a fourth-century glass dish with one of the best preserved images of Christ which is currently exposed in the Museum of Linares. At the most eastern end of the settlement, you can see the Castle of Santa Eufemia, a fortification that dates from the Arab period and is also part of the cultural itinerary Route of the Castles and the Battle.

Archaeological Museum

This museum cannot be understood in its integrity without reference to the Archaeological Set of Cattulo, as they are intimately related. In fact, an important impetus in the development of the Museum occurs when the expropriation of the lands of the former Cattulo is carried out, a process that began in 1968 and concluded in 1972, thus facilitating the research work that has been carried out in these areas since 1958 and from where the most important and numerous part of the collection comes from.

The tour is arranged on several floors, a covered courtyard and the basement. Its rooms treasure the most important findings of Catulus, including the Ibero-Roman Lion dating back to the 1st century BC and the Patena of Christ dating back to the 4th century AD.

You can visit the Interpretation Centre in Vilches (currently closed by reforms) and learn about the historical evolution of this important site, but there is a fence that closes the passage to the fortified city, so it is necessary to telephone the City Hall in advance, on working hours from 8: 00 to 14: 00, to make an appointment.

In the archaeological enclave you can visit a prehistoric sanctuary, an Iberian village, a cenobium or eemite paleocristian or visigode and a Almohad castle, all surrounded by beautiful landscapes between olive and saw. Landscape, culture, heritage, history, nature, hiking... are intermingled in Giribola, where it is possible to appreciate the footprint left by different peoples and cultures over the centuries.

Thus, along with the vestiges of the castle, the traveller will also be able to see the remains that are still preserved from the great wall surrounding the Iberian oppidum, an important city that occupied a strategic place on the road of connection between Catulo and the Levant and that was abandoned after being swept away by the Romans. Similarly, the numerous caves that are distributed on the slopes of the hill, the so-called Cuevas de Espeluca, are also interesting.

Through visual and interactive technologies in three dimensions (videomapping, holograms, etc.) it offers the visitor a tour, from the Iberorromana era, through the history of Mengibar related to its geographical location in the confluence of three great rivers: Guadalquivir, Guadalclón and Guadalimar. In this line, its content links with routes such as the time journey of the Iberians or the Phoenicians. Its assembly has received the advice and support of the professionals of the University Institute of Ibera Archaeology of the University of Jaén, headed by Juan Pedro Bellón Ruiz, current director.
