Contrebia Belaisca, Archaeological site in Botorrita, Spain.
The remains of Contrebia Belaisca extend across 20 hectares on Cabezo de las Minas hill, alongside the Huerva River, 20 kilometers from Zaragoza.
Founded in the 5th century BCE, the Celtiberian settlement developed fortifications in the 4th century BCE and maintained occupation until Julius Caesar destroyed it in 49 BCE.
The settlement contains important architectural structures on the upper plateau, including administrative buildings and religious spaces that demonstrate Celtiberian social organization.
Archaeological excavations uncovered bronze plaques with inscriptions in both Celtiberian and Latin languages, providing details about regional legal proceedings and land disputes.
The defensive system included a substantial moat measuring 4-5 meters deep and 12.5 meters wide, complemented by a 44.5-meter-long city wall.
