This is what we did last Tuesday, 13th August. Funnily enough, we've been stumbling over this place, metaphorically speaking, to reach our own front door for the last 20 odd years. We felt that it was about time we payed a visit, seeing as we have a budding historian in the family!
La Ciutadella is a very well preserved Iberian settlement. Some years ago permission was given to reconstruct the original ruins which, if you look very carefully, can be seen, marked by a red line running around the outside wall.

The Iberians worked with bronze, iron and lead.

They were not very tall. In this photo you can compare the height of the door with that of my son, who is eleven going on twelve. He is tall for his age, too.

These particular Iberians, and possibly others in the area, were here during the 600 years before the coming of our Lord.
