- Abstract
This article focuses on the earliest phases of the site located on the hill where the castle of Guardamar del Segura (Alicante) lies. Along with the presentation of several mostly unpublished or little-known archaeological materials, the existence of a sanctuary that could have been active since the 8th century BC is proposed. Based on the analysis of the different finds and the iconography of terracotta figurines, the dedication of this sacred space is proposed: Phoenician goddess Astarte, whose cult would have continued throughout practically the entire first millennium BC in this place.
