Discover the most amazing facts about the pre-Roman tribes of northern Spain with this guided tour of the Cantabrian settlement of Argüeso.

Argüeso Guided Tour

We'll be waiting for you at the Cantabrian settlement of Argüeso at the time of your choice for a very special guided tour of this open-air museum. A route to the past in which you'll discover the constructions and customs of the Iron Age.

We'll enter this enclosure surrounded by stone and wooden walls which houses seven huts, reminiscent of the way of life between the 7th and 1st centuries BC. Each of these dwellings is a replica of the fortified settlements of Barones, La Ulaña, Cildá and Monte Bernorio.

We'll learn about the materials used to build these houses and we'll see exact reproductions of falcatas swords, daggers, helmets, shields and belts of the period. In one of the huts we'll see more refined pieces of pottery due to the Celtiberian influence. Did you know that at least eight Roman legions had to act to defeat the Cantabrian tribes?

But that's not all, during the tour we'll admire a replica of the Zurita stele, a unique indigenous piece that has given rise to dozens of hypotheses. If you want to know what they are, don't miss the guide's explanations.

Timetables
