Los Millares
A Copper Age walled settlement dating back about 5,000 years, with multiple defensive walls, bastions and domed collective tombs, one of Europe's most important prehistoric sites.
Los Millares lies in Santa Fe de Mondújar, about 20 km north of Almería. It was a Copper Age settlement dating from roughly 3200 to 2200 BCE, with four defensive walls, several outlying bastions and more than a hundred domed collective tombs. It is one of the most important sites of its era in Europe. On site you will find reconstructed walls, houses and burial chambers, along with a small interpretation center. Opening days are limited, usually Wednesday to Sunday mornings, so check the times before you set out. The site is open and exposed, with no shade.
