Ciudad de los Vascos, Archaeological site in Navalmoralejo, Spain.

The archaeological settlement extends over 8 hectares, featuring defensive walls, an alcazaba fortress, and two cemeteries near the Huso River banks.

Established between 930 and 950 CE during Abd-al-Rahman III's reign, this Umayyad foundation remained inhabited until the 12th century.

The site reveals evidence of metallurgical production, with discovered artifacts including copper tools, iron implements, and Islamic gaming pieces.

Visitors can access the site via a dirt road from the CM-4100 highway intersection at Navalmoralejo, with free entrance to the interpretation center.

The strategic location near a ford of the Huso River made it a metallurgical center processing metals from the nearby Toledo Mountains.
