Motilla del Azuer, Bronze Age archaeological complex in Daimiel, Spain.
The prehistoric settlement contains a central stone tower reaching 10 meters high, surrounded by three concentric defensive walls and a spacious courtyard.
Built between 2200 and 1500 BCE, this fortified settlement formed part of a network of similar structures positioned every 4-5 kilometers across the region.
The excavated areas reveal numerous storage pits, grain silos, and pottery kilns, demonstrating the advanced economic organization of Bronze Age communities.
The site features a 16-meter deep well, representing the oldest documented water management system discovered on the Iberian Peninsula.
Archaeological investigations uncovered burial grounds where children were interred in ceramic vessels, following distinct Bronze Age funeral traditions.
