Archaeological Site of Villa del Alamillo
These ruins located at the foot of the Alamillo beach (Puerto de Mazarrón) are the remains of a Roman villa from around the 1st century AD.
This set of Roman remains is made up of a high-rise building with wall paintings (Loma del Alamillo), an aqueduct with its corresponding distribution pond, and a villa on the beach with a residential part (the furthest from the sea) of which the presence of some interesting thermal baths stands out, and an industrial part (next to the sea) with several pools for the production of salted fish. The chronology of the whole complex is very broad, spanning from the last quarter of the 2nd century BC to the beginning of the 3rd century AD.

El Alamillo Basin
Continuing with the site of the Villa del Alamillo, there are other archaeological remains that complete the Roman Mazarrón.
Less than 400 metres to the northwest of the Villa del Alamillo, there are the remains of a large pool of great dimensions (14.30 x 12.30 with a height of 1.35 metres) that was excavated in 1989 and consolidated and restored in recent years. The pool, probably built during the second half of the 1st century AD and with a capacity of more than 250 cubic metres, has very thick walls, almost a metre thick, and a coating of opus signinum, a hydraulic mortar that prevented water leaks or losses.

Arco Aqueduct
The Arco aqueduct, together with the irrigation ditches and waterwheels of the municipality, have been supplying water to the highest areas of Albudeite’s orchards for years. This hydraulic infrastructure, formed by a central arch larger than the two on either side, and whose construction dates back to 1926, was created due to the need to save the stream that now runs through it.
In an area where agricultural use of the land depends on the artificial supply of water, the aqueducts play a fundamental role in its development, making the Arco aqueduct one of the most important buildings in the history of the municipality of Albudeite.

Minas de San Cristóbal y Los Perules (Mines of Mazarrón)
Mining is an integral part of Mazarrón’s historical and cultural heritage. It has been one of the key economic pillars for several communities that settled in Mazarrón, thanks not only to the rich mineral wealth of the land but also to the ease of sea transport.
The first mining operations date back to the Bronze Age, although it was the Romans who were most successful in this endeavor between the 2nd century BC and the 2nd century AD.
Here, you’ll discover a landscape that seems straight out of science fiction, like something from a movie. In fact, some productions, such as music videos, short films, and scenes from feature films, have been filmed here.
