Terrazas del Manzanares, Archaeological site in Getafe, Spain.
The archaeological complex extends along both banks of the Manzanares River, containing over one hundred excavation sites at an elevation of 600 meters.
The first fossil remains of large vertebrates were discovered in the early 19th century, leading to increased scientific interest and systematic excavations in the area.
The French Geological Society published findings of Paleolithic industries in 1863, marking international recognition of the site's archaeological significance.
The archaeological zone stretches from El Pardo to Getafe, with most excavation sites located near the Manzanares River and its tributaries.
Excavations at the end of the 20th century revealed multiple prehistoric settlements in locations such as Via Carpetana and the Alhambra-Latina district.
