The archaeological zone of Valcuevo (Los Castros and El Alba) represents the oldest vestiges of human settlement in the Villalazán district. This site has great importance, part of the remains corresponding to the Roman camp of Albocela or Albocella (with a chronology from the 1st century BC to the 3rd AD), discovered in 1992, but the bulk of them, the most important of the time Roman ruins in Zamora, could correspond according to some scholars to the old mansio and civitas of Ocelo Durii.

Two other enclaves belonging to different chronological periods have been documented in the surroundings of this great site. These are: Valcuevo (Final Bronze and from the I Iron Age) -Los Castros (I and II Iron Age); Alba II, Plenomedieval necropolis.
