User:Castros de Asturias

In spite of the monotony traditionally attributed to the proto-historic hillfort milieu in Aturias, recent research is starting to unveil a far more complex reality. Rather than mere military or defensive functions, the structure of these settlements reveals multifarious intents that translate in original defensive architectural landscapes.

Castros de Asturias trails the main cultural and archaeological landmarks that outline the development of the fortified settlements in Asturias, from their foundation in the last stages of Late Bronze Age, until the brief but intense revitalization linked to Roman rule in the 1st-4th Centuries A.D.
