Uxama Argaela, Celtiberian archaeological site in El Burgo de Osma, Spain.

The remains extend across 28 hectares on El Castro hill, featuring walls protected by rectangular towers, cisterns, baths, and a basilica with mosaics.

The city participated in the Celtiberian Wars until 133 BC and was later destroyed by Pompey in 72 BC during the Roman civil conflicts.

The site contains multiple excavated structures including a forum, urban villas, and an industrial district along the Ucero river from its time as a Roman municipium.

Visitors can access the archaeological site without charge and examine informational panels at principal locations throughout the preserved structures.

The water system includes tunnels carved into solid rock, with a notable semicircular vaulted cistern capable of storing 300 cubic meters of water.
