The University of Malaga, Ronda council and the Junta de Andalucía have set up a committee to draw up plans for one of the most important towns in Roman Bética

The archaeological site in the Serranía de Ronda has been neglected for years and is at risk of looting and deterioration, so urgent action is required

:: MARÍA GARCÍA RONDA. Just 20 kilometres away from the town of Ronda and its fa- mous gorge is a little-known ar- chaeological site which was once a Roman and pre-Roman town: Acinipo. Although its name appears for the first time in texts by Ptolomy and Pliny the Elder, the area is linked with the Celtic Beturia, and there are remains from the Cop- per and Bronze Age. However it reached its maximum splendour in Roman times, becoming one of the most important towns in Bé- tica and granted the privilege of minting its own coins. Sadly, the site has been badly neglected, but that may be about to change thanks to a new conser- vation project with the collabora- tion of the University of Malaga The Roman town of Acinipo is about 20 kilometres from Ronda. :: SUR (UMA), the Junta de Andalucía and Ronda council. been a great deal of talk about re- IMPORTANT POINTS urgent, but there is still no plan. much investment is needed,” says In 2013, the Hispania Nostra As- storing it, but nothing has come We need to decide exactly what Valadez. sociation added Acinipo to its Heri- to fruition.
