Chao Samartín, Archaeological site in Grandas de Salime, Spain.
The settlement sits on an elevated promontory above the Cabalos river, featuring ancient fortifications, communal structures, and residential areas from multiple periods.
The site originated in the Bronze Age around 800 BC as a fortified settlement, later developing into a Roman administrative center until an earthquake struck in 200 AD.
The archaeological complex includes circular and rectangular dwellings that demonstrate the architectural evolution from the Castreña culture through the Roman period.
Guided tours operate Tuesday through Saturday at 13:00 and 17:30, and Sundays at 13:30, with the associated museum displaying original artifacts from excavations.
The excavation revealed sophisticated security systems from the Roman period, including metal locks and keys that indicate advanced technological capabilities.
