Alborajico: de eremitorio a complejo funerario con reminiscencias etruscas

In la Muela de Alborajico, a setting of the municipality of Tobarra (Albacete), there exist three excavated rooms in the stone which have been defined as an eremitic complex in which cave I would be the monacal church. Our research proposes a new possibility: without discording that this space may have been occupied by monks, we consider that these rooms are tombs. The holes, the stone beds with pillow, lead us to believe that they are Etruscan tombs, or otherwise with clear Etruscan influence of prominent persons who lived there between the seventh and second centuries B.C. Afterwards, cave I was transformed into a reservoir in the Hispanic–Muslim period. Alongside the artificial cavities with their stone beds, there exist small caves and remains of a pre–Roman settlement, which leads us to think of a funerary complex with dates back to the second millennium before Christ and that, perhaps, might have belonged to the culture of El Algar.
