Citânia de Briteiros, Archaeological site in Briteiros São Salvador, Portugal.
The settlement extends across 24 hectares on Monte de São Romão, featuring stone walls, paved streets, and circular family dwellings arranged in neighborhoods.
The fortified settlement dates from the second century BCE and remained inhabited until the second century CE, when Roman influence gradually transformed its structures.
The site contains remnants of Celtic domestic architecture, with round stone houses forming family compounds connected by a network of streets.
Visitors can access the archaeological site daily from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM during summer months, with reduced hours from Tuesday to Sunday in winter.
Four concentric defensive walls protect distinct residential zones, public spaces, and two bath structures, representing one of the first urban forms in northwestern Iberia.
