Vega Baja de Toledo archaeological site

Vega Baja is an archaeological site in Toledo containing remains from Visigothic settlements that once stood here. The exhibition displays full-size building reconstructions, recovered objects, and maps explaining the layout and use of this ancient community.

The site was an important settlement during Visigothic rule and remained largely buried for centuries. Modern excavation efforts started in recent decades to uncover and study what lay beneath the surface.

The findings here show how Visigothic people built their homes and made pottery, which visitors can examine through objects and building remains on display. What emerges is a picture of ordinary daily routines and skilled craftsmanship that shaped the community.

The site sits near the riverbank and is walkable from Toledo's center, though the path involves some steep sections. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, especially on warm days.

The exhibition reveals the detective work archaeologists do, showing techniques and tools used to carefully uncover ancient objects. Visitors gain insight into why certain methods protect these finds from damage and loss.
