Tiermes, Roman archaeological site in Montejo de Tiermes, Spain.
The archaeological complex features numerous structures carved into sandstone rock, including houses, streets, thermal baths, and defensive walls.
The settlement resisted Roman conquest until 98 BCE when Consul Titus Didius forced inhabitants to relocate from their hillside fortress.
The Romanesque hermitage within the complex contains stone capitals and corbels decorated with detailed religious motifs and figures.
The site opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 18:00 in winter, with extended summer hours until 20:00.
The underground chambers and passageways carved into rock demonstrate advanced engineering methods used by ancient inhabitants.
