Las Cogotas, Archaeological settlement in Cardeñosa, Spain
Perched on a hill near the Adaja River, Las Cogotas features stone fortifications, a necropolis, and residential areas spread across multiple levels.
The settlement reveals two occupation periods: Cogotas I from 1200 to 800 BCE and Cogotas II from 400 to 100 BCE, ending with Roman influence.
The necropolis of Trasguija contains hundreds of granite headstones, providing evidence of funeral practices of the Vettones who inhabited the settlement.
The interpretation center presents detailed information about the settlement through exhibits, while the archaeological site remains open for exploration without entry fees.
The settlement incorporates defensive elements including double walls and fields of pointed stones designed to prevent cavalry attacks on the fortification.
