When the Romans conquered Hispania, while they plundered the great mineral wealth of its quarries, they developed a complex network of roads to link its main cities. One of these roads, the Via Augusta, the Ruta de la Plata (Silver Route), crossed this region, in the north-western part of the province of Seville, linking Baetica with Lusitania.
