Castellón Alto, Bronze Age archaeological site in Galera, Spain.
The settlement extends across three natural terraces on a hillock, with residential structures and defensive walls protecting the upper level settlement area.
The site reveals the remains of the El Argar civilization that flourished between 1900 and 1600 BCE, developing advanced metallurgy and construction techniques.
Excavations have uncovered 130 tombs containing artificial caves sealed with stone slabs, reflecting the burial practices of the ancient inhabitants.
The archaeological site offers guided tours from Wednesday to Sunday, with different schedules for summer and winter seasons to accommodate visitor needs.
The upper terrace contains a water cistern and elite residences, demonstrating the social stratification and architectural capabilities of the Bronze Age society.
