Castro de San Chuis, Archaeological site in Allande, Spain.

The hillfort settlement extends across a triangular layout with defensive walls, multiple ditches, and twenty distinct building structures within its perimeter.

The fortified settlement dates back to the 8th century BC, marked by continuous wall construction and subsequent Roman modifications in the 1st century AD.

The architectural remains showcase the evolution from circular pre-Roman structures to Roman-style buildings, reflecting the transition between these civilizations.

Visitors can reach the site by taking the ALL-2 road to Celón, following the path to San Martín de Beduledo, where a forest track leads to the fort.

The site contains up to six defensive trenches with counter-forts in its southwestern section, while the eastern and northern slopes rely solely on natural defenses.
