Castro de Ulaca, Archaeological site near Villaviciosa, Spain.
The archaeological settlement of Castro de Ulaca stretches across 60 hectares on a hilltop, protected by a 3-kilometer stone wall without mortar.
Dating from the 6th to 2nd century BCE, this Veton settlement contained 250 houses and supported a population of approximately 1000 inhabitants.
The site features a granite altar for sacrificial ceremonies and a stone-carved sauna used for warrior initiation rituals by the Veton people.
The site requires a 600-meter uphill walk from the parking area to reach the main archaeological structures at 1508 meters above sea level.
The granite quarries within the settlement display visible wedge marks and cut blocks, demonstrating the advanced stone-working techniques of ancient builders.
