Campa Torres Archaeological-Natural Park

The Campa Torres Archaeological and Natural Park is located in the council of Gijón, next to the coast, and covers an area of 50,000 square metres. The castro consists of several different areas: the reception building, located at the entrance to the Park, the archaeological site and the main building, located in a former bunker built during the Spanish Civil War.

The site occupies the western end of Cape Torres and is divided into two sectors: the higher one corresponds to the defensive structures, a moat carved into the rock, a counter moat and the wall, made up of rectangular modules with rounded corners.

In the lower sector, the settlement is made up of mostly rectangular houses with various outbuildings, built of stone and paved with small cobblestones. Three wells for water supply have been found, lined with masonry and with descending steps. Bronze smelting furnaces have been discovered under the floor level of some of the houses.
