The Salinas Romanas de Iptuci are located in Prado del Rey, in the province of Cádiz and are one of the last inland salt production areas still in use in the province. These salt production areas have a rich history dating back to the Phoenicians, approximately 3,000 years ago, and were later developed during the Roman period. The salt production areas use hot underground springs that bring water with a high salt content to the surface. The water is gradually concentrated in different basins, where the salt crystals are finally isolated by evaporation under the sun.

The gate also has a small chapel with a statue of the Virgen del Pilar, which has been recently restored.

The town, situated on a rocky plateau, invites you to travel through time. From the 11th century it was the capital of a taifa, a small Berber kingdom. The fortified town was finally reconquered in 1264 by Alfonso X, who also took Seville, Jerez and Cádiz during the Reconquista. For two centuries Arcos was an outpost on the border of the kingdom and in the 15th century the village came into the hands of the Ponce de León family, who played a major role in the victory over the kingdom of Granada. During the 19th century, Arcos acquired its current appearance thanks to the rise of olive and grape cultivation and horse breeding.

The perfect grid of the urban planning of this town suggests that it is not a very old place. However, this is due to the fact that the roots of this town are found in the site of the Roman city of Iptuci, which already had a similar plan. The site was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.
