Calasparra Town Hall and the University of Valencia will carry out an archeological excavation on the hill near the Sanctuary, popularly known as the Cerro de la Virgin, from July 1 to 31.
The dig will be directed by Dr David Martinez Chico of the University of Valencia (author of the photo with this article). He will also give a lecture this evening, Saturday, in the Casa de la Cultura at 8pm.
The Cerro de la Virgin had been catalogued scientifically since 1970 as argaric (bronze age) and Iberic. However, a prospection in 2021 contradicts these findings and dates the site back to V-VII AD.
