Baelo Claudia, Spain

October 26, 2013

These are ruins from the Roman era, but the history stretches much farther back than Romans.  The town was most known for tuna fishing as the tuna go into the Mediterranean to breed.  Right by the water were basins to put the fish into salt baths.  One of the statues was for Isis, evidence that all cultures had an influence.  The town even became so large that it had its own mint.
