Ciutadella ibèrica de Calafell

The archaeological complex features reconstructed Iberian houses, defensive walls, towers, and streets that replicate the original settlement's architecture and layout from 2500 years ago.

Established in the 6th century BC, this fortified settlement served as a headquarters for the Cossetani Iberian tribe until its decline during the Second Punic War.

The site demonstrates experimental archaeology techniques through accurate reconstructions of ancient Iberian buildings, tools, and daily life objects used between the 6th and 1st centuries BC.

Visitors can explore the reconstructed buildings, examine archaeological displays, and participate in educational programs that showcase Iron Age living conditions throughout the year.

The location stands as the first archaeological site in the Iberian Peninsula reconstructed using experimental archaeology methods, setting standards for historical preservation.
