Castro del Raso, Celtic archaeological site in Candeleda, Spain.
The archaeological complex spans across 20 hectares of land and contains remains of 300 ancient stone dwellings from Celtic settlements.
The settlement reached its peak during the Second Iron Age and remained active until the Roman conquest in the first century BC.
The excavated areas reveal burial practices of the Vettones people, who performed cremation rituals and placed daily objects with the ashes.
The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours through the preserved stone structures and defensive walls.
Roman coins discovered at the site date from 134 BC to 47 BC, confirming trade connections between Celtic inhabitants and Roman civilization.
