The archaeological site reveals the existence of a Roman villa, where building materials such as tiles and stucco fragments have been found, probably part of a staircase discovered in the area and later moved for conservation. Fragments of common pottery and sigillata have also been found, indicating prolonged occupation of the space. According to researchers, the villa reached its peak between the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, although its origins may date back to the 1st century AD, and its use possibly extended into the 5th century AD.
The villa appears to have had an industrial function, taking advantage of its proximity to the sea, as suggested by the remains of salting basins and amphorae found at the site. Among the most notable discoveries is a locally produced headless sculpture, known as the Venus of Fuengirola, as well as remains of a masonry and brick staircase with walls covered in painted stucco. This staircase, restored in 1988, was moved to a building near the Fuengirola River.
On July 19, 2019, a visitor reception center was inaugurated at the site, where the operation of a Roman bath has been recreated. On January 26, 2021, the Venus of Fuengirola, along with fifteen other new pieces, was restored and exhibited at this center, standing out as the most significant sculpture found so far at the site.
