Castellet de Banyoles, Catalonia, Spain
Castellet de Banyoles, aerial view, an Iberian settlement occupied 6th - 3rd centuries BC, at Tivissa, Catalonia, Spain. The strategic location on the Ebro river takes advantage of Greek and Phoenician trade routes to the Mediterranean Sea. 2 pentagonal defensive towers remain and many houses have been excavated and there was once a sanctuary or temple on the site. Silverware and jewellery have also been excavated, known as the Treasure of Tivissa, which is housed in the Museu daooArqueologia de Catalunya. Picture by Manuel Cohen
