Iberian settlement of Puntal dels Llops

Nature · Olocau, El Camp de Túria, Valencia

Fortified Iberian watchtower from the 5th century BC, of about 960 m², with a double walled enclosure, a large watchtower and visible urban structures, located on the summit of a promontory in the Sierra Calderona, 427 metres above sea level and more than 150 above the plain, with wide visibility over the Camp de Túria and the barranco de Carraixet. Together with other similar watchtowers, it was part of the defensive and surveillance system of the territory of the Iberian city of Edeta, on the border of Edetan territory. Inside, seventeen rooms can be made out, opening onto a central street that runs through the whole settlement. It is one of the best-preserved Iberian sites in the district.
