Große Heuneburg, Iron Age archaeological site in Zwiefalten, Germany.

The fortified Celtic settlement stretches across 300 by 150 meters on a mountain spur, rising above the Danube River landscape.

The initial settlement dates to the Middle Bronze Age, with significant reoccupation around 700 BC, developing into a regional center by 600 BC.

The site features numerous burial mounds containing elaborate grave offerings, demonstrating the social structures and burial practices of Celtic communities.

Visitors can explore the reconstructed Celtic dwellings and examine archaeological findings through exhibits at the Heuneburgmuseum.

The settlement's fortification system incorporates Mediterranean architectural elements, indicating early cultural exchange between Celtic and Greek civilizations.
