The original settlement dates back to the Bronze Age and the Castillio Alto and gives us an amazing glimpse into life at this time. Located approximately one kilometre from the centre of Galera on the left bank of the Galera river and dates back to the late Bronze Age 1900 to 1600 BC. The site is located at the top of the hill with three natural terraces. Today it is partially reconstructed and we can discover the daily life in a village Argárico over 3500 years B.C
