Titulcia Archaeological Site
Titulcia is one of the most significant examples of the Carpetani system of settlements that was fully Romanised in the south of the Madrid Region. Its strategic location at the confluence of the River Jarama and River Tajuña made it a key point of communication between the north and south of the plateau, which has been core to understanding how the settlement has evolved since Prehistory to today.
In 1989, surveys were carried out to define the borders of the archaeological site in the municipality. It was the Iberian/Roman and Celtiberian hub to the northeast of the town Cerrón, together with the 1st century Roman expansion to the south of this area. In 2007, excavations began by order of the Directorate-General for Historical Heritage.
Although visits to the archaeological site are not possible, as it is still in its research phase, it was recognised as an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) in 2012, having been declared a Protected Archaeology Area (ZOPA) in 1989.
