Iruña-Veleia, Archaeological site in Iruña de Oca, Spain.
The excavation area spans eleven hectares enclosed by defensive walls, featuring remnants of Roman buildings, streets, and residential structures.
The settlement evolved from a Late Bronze Age community in the 8th century BC into a Roman town with a population reaching 10,000 inhabitants.
Archaeological investigations revealed ancient Roman architectural elements, including domus-style houses that demonstrate the progression of Romanization in the region.
The archaeological site requires advance planning for visits, as access is regulated and guided tours provide detailed information about the excavation findings.
The location served as a strategic point along the Roman road ab Asturica Burdigalam, connecting trade routes near the Bay of Biscay.
