Puig Castellar, Summit and archaeological site at Serralada de Marina park, Spain.

The peak reaches 303 meters in elevation and stands between Montcada i Reixac and Santa Coloma de Gramenet municipalities, featuring porphyry geological formations.

Discovered in 1902 by Mossen Pala, the settlement underwent excavations from 1904 to 1907 under Ferran de Sagarra i de Siscar's direction.

The Iberian settlement reveals daily life artifacts including agricultural tools, children's toys, and silver drachmas from Empuries, indicating economic activities.

Marked trails guide visitors through the archaeological remains, with informational panels explaining the cultural and historical significance of different structures.

Streets and houses were built in terraces adapting to the terrain slope, using slate and granite stones for retaining walls.
