Iron Age

The archaeological park of the Early Iron Age is located at the bank of the river Huecha in the municipality of Zaragoza Fréscano, at the foot of the archaeological site of Burrén-Burrena after which it is named, belonging to the so-called Urnfield Culture. It is the first archaeological park in Spain devoted to this period of prehistory, and aims to combine interdisciplinary teaching and archaeological research in a single project.

Building huts is always possible at the playground. Children get the possibility of making their own play area following their own ideas. Everything needed for the huts is made available: shovels, hammers, crowbar, saw, nails, wood. The playground staff is there to support and advise and intervene in the case of dangerous constructions.

The archaeological site of Numancia is situated south of the village of Garray in the region of Castilla y Leon, Spain, and is one of the most known battle sites during the wars between Rome and the Celtiberians.

The site of the Castro is few kilometres north west of the village of Raso, at the southernmost limit of Castilla y Leon, very close to the border with Estremadura, central Spain. Being in a mountain site, the view from it is breathtaking.

Few kilometres south of La Coruna, in the northern coast of Spain, excavations started in 1947 and discovered a huge (7- 8 hectares) iron age and Roman fortified settlement. In 2002 a new campaign took place with the support from the local committee of La Coruna and the site is now open to the public. Volunteers as well as professionals and university students are involved in the wider frame of the Proyecto Artabria funded also by the Consellería de Cultura de la Xunta de Galicia and both the Ministerios de Cultura and Fomento.

The archaeological and natural Park of Campa-Torres is located 7 km from the town of Gijón in the west side of its bay in the region of Asturias, northern Spain. It was one of the first results of the project “archaeological parks” by the Ministry of Culture in 1989 and brings together high archaeological value and striking natural surroundings.
