Roman Lancia

Roman Lancia was a settlement built by the Romans in what is now León, positioned at a crucial junction along a major trade route. The archaeological remains reveal the standard layout of a Roman town, with traces of streets, building foundations, and defensive structures spanning several centuries.

The settlement emerged during the early Roman expansion and grew as a commercial center along a vital trade corridor. It underwent repeated reconstructions and reinforcements before eventually being abandoned as Roman influence declined in the region.

The remains are scattered across the site, so it takes some imagination to reconstruct what the ancient town looked like. Bring some background reading or local information with you to better interpret what you see and make sense of the archaeological evidence on the ground.
