El Raso

Spain

El Raso oppidum (also known as a castro) is an ancient Vetton hill fort and village in Candeleda, a town in the province of Ávila, Spain. It is found in a spot called El Freíllo, not far from the small village of El Raso. It's made up of a few different walled sections spread out over at least three connected areas, covering in total about 20 hectares. Some of the archaeological findings, which include silver coins and other items, are now on display at the Ávila Museum, with all the items called the El Raso hoard. The archaeological works included the restoration of two of the dwellings to house an interpretation center that provides information about the site.
