Hill fort of La Mesa de la Miranda, Iron Age archaeological site in Chamartín, Spain.
The site contains three defensive enclosures surrounded by walls stretching nearly 3 kilometers across a strategic hilltop position in northern Sierra de Ávila.
The settlement was inhabited by the Vettones, a Celtic people, from the late 5th century BC until the Roman conquest of the territory.
The necropolis of La Osera contains 2230 cremation tombs with artifacts including fibulae, arrowheads, and javelins, indicating social hierarchies within the community.
The fort stands 22 kilometers west of Ávila and can be accessed through a dirt road from the AV-110 highway leading to Chamartín.
Research suggests that the necropolis markers align with the constellation of Orion, potentially indicating beliefs about the afterlife among ancient inhabitants.
