Monte Bernorio, Iron Age archaeological site in Pomar de Valdivia, Spain.

Archaeological excavations at Monte Bernorio began in 1890, revealing continuous occupation patterns from the 8th century BCE until the 1st century BCE.

The site contains numerous ceramics, metalwork, and building foundations that demonstrate the social organization of pre-Roman tribes in the Iberian Peninsula.
