The Iberian settlement of Sant Julià de Ramis

The archaeological site of Sant Julià de Ramis is an Iberian settlement located at the Puig de Sant Julià in the Girona region. This site, declared a cultural asset of national interest, features rock-cut huts and is fortified with a section of a wall. Systematic work on the site began in 1996, revealing a significant number of Iberian and Roman remains. The church of Sants Metges is located near the settlement and also contains remains from these periods.

The settlement was established in the 5th century BC and lasted until the 1st century AD. Later, the Romans utilized the existing Iberian structure to establish a castrum known as Castellum Fractum. The strategic position of the hill allowed the Romans to dominate the route of the Via Augusta.

Abundant remains from the late imperial period between the 4th and 7th centuries have been found at the site. At the foot of the hill, several siege camps are also located. The site is currently being prepared for visitors and has been included in the archaeological circuit of Girona.
