Bronce Age hill-fort of Taramundi
A castro is a fortified settlement, generally pre-Roman, although there are later examples that lasted until the Middle Ages in Europe and are typical of the late Bronze Age and Iron Age. They are frequent in the Iberian Peninsula, especially in the northwest, which is where I live.
According to the information panel at the entrance of the Taramundi castro, this settlement was catalogued in 1969 under the name of "El Castro". It is one of the largest forts in the interior lands of the councils between the rivers Navia and Eo in western Asturias, with an area of about 2 ha. From the analysis of the coins and objects found in the archaeological excavations, the occupation of this castro was from the Bronze Age to the Roman period and among the exhumed constructions are counted, a dozen buildings and sections of wall.
For those interested in its location you can find it at the end of Calle los Castros in Taramundi whose GPS coordinates are 43°21'32.4 "N 7°06'26.1 "W. Access is free every day of the year.
I hope you like this small contribution related to ancient places.
Regards.
