Remains of Mantua Carpetanorum

Curiosity · Villamanta, Sierra Oeste, Madrid

Image of Villamanta, not of the place itself.

The village's name points back to the Carpetani town that Ptolemy mentioned in his Geography; from its municipal district come a votive altar to the Lares, funerary inscriptions from the 1st to the 3rd centuries and five Roman steles found at the El Tejar site.
