- FUENGIROLA - In the present
municipal term of Fuengirola they last, still, vestiges of old
civilizations. The skirts of the hill where the Arab Castle is
raised, guard the rest of a i'bero-Punic poblamiento, in their origin,
and Roman later. One is the city of SUEL, named by Mela,
Pliny and Ptolomeo.
The "Itinerary" of
Antonino located it in the way of MALACA to GADES,
the West of first. The identification of SUEL with Fuengirola
must to the lawyer rondeño M. Fariñas of the Corral when
doing, in 1663, the calculation of XXI the miles whereupon the "Itineraries"
distanced it of Malaga. Although a complete excavation has
officially not taken place, despite have appeared some pieces of
considerable archaeological value in the neighborhoods of the Castle.
Perhaps the one of
greater interest it is, until the moment, the pedestal of a statue
with an inscription, published by Bernardine Alderete in 1606,
whose text mentions to SUEL like Roman Municipality. Another
epigraphic document, coming from the same zone, is a "funeral ALTAR",
whose legend contains gentilicio "SUELITANA".
