History
Andalusia has a rich patriarchal culture that is the product of an immense history in which many cities participated. In Andalusia and Seville in particular, heritage is very important, which makes this region very special.
Three hundred meters above sea level at the northeast border of Aguadulce, there were several
Bronze Age peoples settled. Bronze in the Iberian Peninsula started about 2000 B.C.E.These first settlers lived atop hills, which aided in defense against enemies. This was an ideal location for these primitive peoples. They were able to create simple bronze objects, some of which can still be found in the hills. However, excavation is needed to recover the artifacts.
During the period of Roman rule, Andalusia was known as Bética, which was created by Augustus in 27 B.C.E.
