Iberian City of Ullastret

Monument · Ullastret, Baix Empordà, Girona

The Iberian city of Ullastret extends over the Puig de Sant Andreu and the Illa d'en Reixac, within the municipality of Ullastret, and constitutes the largest urban centre of Iberian culture discovered to date in Catalonia; it was the capital of the Indigetes between the 6th century BC and Roman times, in the territory that ancient authors assigned to this tribe. The site, exceptional both for its size and its state of preservation, has proved fundamental to the knowledge of this culture, which occupied the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula during the second half of the first millennium BC. It is one of the venues of the Museu d'Arqueologia de Catalunya, devoted to preserving, researching and disseminating these remains, and in 2014 the area was declared a Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (Spain's highest level of heritage protection).
