Yacimiento prehistórico del Cerro de la Encantada

Discover a mysterious buried treasure in the heart of Spain, revealing a captivating tale of the Bronze Age Manchego culture.

Perched on the crest of a hill, the Cerro de la Encantada in Granátula de Calatrava, Spain, beckons history enthusiasts to step back in time. Though only a part of this archaeological site has been excavated, it stands as a testament to the Bronze Middle and Late periods in the Iberian Peninsula. The remains of urban, architectural, and funerary structures within the site suggest a society intertwined with the Mediterranean Oriental, possibly acting as a center for the extraction, refinement, and trade of metals. However, it is not the Argar Culture, but it is part of the Bronze Manchego typology known as Facies Castellones.
