La Bastida de Totana, Bronze Age archaeological site in Totana, Spain

The settlement extends across 4.5 hectares on a steep hill at the intersection of Lebor Creek and Salado Ravine, near Murcia.

First excavated in 1869 by Rogelio Inchaurrandieta, the site contains remains from settlements dated between 2200 and 1550 BCE.

The burial practices involved placing deceased individuals beneath house floors with ceramic vessels, weapons, and metal ornaments made of copper and silver.

The archaeological complex includes guided tours through terraced houses, fortification systems, and a research center focused on Bronze Age artifacts.

Archaeological findings indicate a population of 1000 inhabitants who developed advanced metallurgy techniques and established complex social hierarchies.
