Abstract (english)	The Hispano-Roman city of Valeria, in the province of Cuenca (Spain), is well known in the archaeological field worldwide for its significant archaeological and architectural remains and for the evidence of its splendour and development. Less known are the quarries located near the city of Valeria. These quarries provided most of the blocks resulting in this public and monumental architecture. The abundant existence of quality stone material, the geomorphological arrangement of the rocky layers that facilitated its massive exploitation and the existence of roads in the immediate vicinity that allowed the evacuation and transportation of extracted material to its final destination are features that facilitated the exploitation in the Roman age. The preserved remains and the finding of some semi-finished stone elements are the starting points to establish the system of exploitation and utilization of construction resources in the immediate vicinity of this Roman city.
