In 1876, an unprecedented flood of the Guadiana River revealed previously unknown ruins: the Roman Villa of Montinho das Laranjeiras. Founded in the 1st century BC, it was inhabited continuously until the end of the Islamic period, when it was finally abandoned. Its privileged position allowed trade along the river as far as Mértola and ensured the continuity of Roman, Visigothic, and Islamic occupation.
