Iberian town of Ullastret.
The Iberian city of Ullastret was, between the 6th and 2nd centuries BC, one of the largest concentrations of pre-Roman population in the Iberian Peninsula and, during this period, became the capital of the Indigenous people.
The archaeological site of Ullastret is basically made up of the settlements of Puig de Sant Andreu and Illa d'en Reixac (Ullastret) as well as the necropolis of Puig de Serra. The Puig de Sant Andreu is the only site currently open to the public and houses the Ullastret headquarters of the Museum of Archeology of Catalonia.
The Iberian site of Puig de Sant Andreu was discovered at the beginning of the 1930s, for various reasons no archaeological interventions were started until 1947.
The first continuous settlement on this hill was an early Iron Age settlement established in the last quarter of the 7th century BC. The Iberian settlement began to be built in the second half of the 6th century BC. The first fortification probably dates from the end of this century. Later in the first half of the 4th century BC this enclosure underwent a major renovation. At this time the settlement was considerably enlarged with the construction of a new walled perimeter that incorporated the northern area and the eastern slope of the hill. Recent archaeological research based on geophysical surveys and occasional surveys has also documented the existence of a monumental defensive moat.
With the arrival of the Romans in the area, in the context of the Second Punic War, a process of transformation began in the system of occupation and economic exploitation of the territory that led to the forced abandonment of the place in late third century or early second century BC.
