History
An ancient settlement at modern Mértola (Portugal) on the west bank of the Guadiana river (ancient Anas). The town is mentioned in Roman sources, but most of the monumental archaeology dates to the Muslim period or later (including a number of large piers previously misidentified as a Roman bridge).
Show place in AWMC's Antiquity À-la-carte, Google Earth, or Pelagios' Peripleo.
