About

In the third century BC, one of the most important and claimed events in the history of Elche de la Sierra occurred: during the colonizing struggles that the Carthaginians waged against the Bastetanos (indigenous peoples), Amílcar Barca, general-chief of the Carthaginians, in Hélice (Elche de la Sierra), Spain, drowned in a river. So say authors like Polibio.
