Archeological site of Sant Martí de les Tombetes

 

Sant Martí de les Tombetes is an archaeological site located at the Montsec mountain range. It is a Late-Antiquity mountain settlement, protected by cliffs that create a defensive system consisting of moat and walls, which served as dwelling place for  an elite. Even if some prehistoric materials have been found, the main phase of the site belongs to Late Antiquity and the medieval period, between the 4th and the 13th century.
