There are few better places to find out what an Iberian citadel was like than the archaeological site of Calafell, the protagonist of this photographic report in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia.
Founded by the Iberians from Coseta in the 6th century BC. C. and with activity for about three centuries, today it allows us to imagine how they lived thanks to an important architectural reconstruction on the ground.
Touring the Ciutadella de Calafell we can get a fairly accurate idea of ??what an Iberian settlement was like at that time.
We know that this Iberian settlement was established on top of a hill, near Calafell beach, about 2,500 years ago.
It was a perfectly fortified enclosure of about 3000 m2 where, probably, some of the chiefs of the lineage of the Cesetanos tribe resided.
A whole group of small nuclei and farmhouses depended on this citadel, scattered within a radius of about four or five kilometres.
