Numantia

Numancia

Numantia is the archaeological remains of an ancient Celtiberian hillfort on Cerro de la Muela near Garray (Soria), Spain. The site preserves stone house foundations, streets paved with river cobbles, fragments of a defensive circuit and nearby Roman siege camps; some buildings have been partially reconstructed for display.

What Numantia looked like in its prime.

Perched on a low rounded hill, Numantia at its prime consisted of tightly packed stone houses with rough river-stone walls and thatched or turf roofs, narrow streets paved with rounded cobbles, and a continuous defensive circuit punctuated by towers and four gateways. Building materials are local boulders and rubble bonded into compact drystone walls; ground tones are sandy ochres and grey stones with straws and timber roofs. The settlement fills the hilltop, bordered by the Duero valley below.
