Yacimiento de Cerro de la Ermita

The archaeological complex extends across fourteen hectares on a limestone plateau overlooking the Duero River in the Valladolid province.

The site contains evidence of an ancient Vaccaean settlement that later became the Roman city of Amallobriga, mentioned by classical writers Pliny and Ptolemy.

Excavations at the site have revealed multiple layers of artifacts, including black Soto de Medinilla II ceramics and Roman construction materials such as bricks and tiles.

Archaeological aerial surveys, initiated in 1991 and expanded in 2001, continue to document the Vaccaean and Roman settlements beneath the surface.

The Hermitage of Our Lady of Tiedra Vieja, constructed at the end of the 16th century, stands directly above the archaeological remains.
