Zorita de los Canes, Spain

Recópolis is located on a hill at whose feet the Tagus River runs smoothly in the municipality of Zorita de los Canes in the heart of Alcarria. At the site, currently in the process of excavation, the remains of the palace, church, monumental gate, streets, commercial buildings, houses, wall, aqueduct, access roads, all musealized and valued for public visit are preserved . Part of the construction elements of the city, ashlars, decorative sculpture, etc., were used at the beginning of the Andalusian era, in the ninth century, to build the new city that replaced Recópolis in the control of the territory, the Arab medina of Zorita, the current Zorita de los Canes.
