Its inhabitants adapted their homes to the terrain’s terraces, from the elevated area of the acropolis to the eastern slope. Among the remains, spaces for cooking, grinding grain, storing goods and carrying out craftwork can be identified. There are also burials beside the homes, a way of connecting the world of the living with that of the dead that is very different from what you will see at Tútugi.

On the guided tour, you will discover how the settlement was organised and what its remains can tell us. This brief introduction accompanies you at the beginning; the following stops will help you look closely at some details of the structures you will explore with your guide.
