    Tips

    May 19, 2025

    The Castro de Las Cogotas, located in the municipality of Cardeñosa (Ávila), is one of the most emblematic Iron Age archaeological sites on the Iberian Peninsula, especially linked to the Vetton people. It is situated on a hill next to the Adaja River, surrounded by holm oak groves, pastures, and fertile land. This location offered defensive advantages and abundant natural resources.

    The fort is open to the public and has an Interpretation Center that explains its history and characteristics. Periodic archaeological conferences are also held on the site.
