Castro de los Castillejos, Archaeological site in Sanchorreja, Spain
The archaeological complex spans over 25 hectares at an elevation of 1553 meters, offering extensive views of the Northern Plateau and Amblés Valley.
Initial excavations at the site began in the 1930s by researchers Joaquín María de Navascués, Emilio Camps Cazorla, and Juan Cabré.
The site contains two main settlement levels, including Cogotas I culture materials and structures from the Early Iron Age II period.
Visitors can examine the remains of rectangular houses with packed earth floors and various defensive structures throughout the archaeological complex.
The settlement was destroyed around 400 BCE, before Roman influence reached other similar fortified settlements in the region.
