Yacimientos de La Espina del Gallego, Cildá, El Cantón y Campo de Las Cercas

Four distinct archaeological areas spread across multiple municipalities, featuring ancient fortifications, defensive structures, and military encampments at elevations reaching 1064 meters.

The sites contain remains from the Cantabrian Wars between 29 and 19 BC, including an indigenous castro later fortified by Roman soldiers at La Espina del Gallego.

Archaeological excavations have uncovered silver denarii coins from the 1st century BC, along with Roman and pre-Roman artifacts throughout the different locations.

The archaeological complex extends through Corvera de Toranzo, Anievas, Arenas de Iguña, Molledo, San Felices de Buelna, and Puente Viesgo municipalities, requiring extensive exploration.

Campo de las Cercas features rectangular enclosures covering 18 hectares, while Cildá spans 25 hectares with stone paths and military barracks adapted to mountainous terrain.
