Iberian Settlements

Culture

If you are interested in ancient cultures and archaeology, Terres de l'Ebre preserves numerous remains from the Iberian period. The Ilercavones, as the Iberians of the Ebro valley were called, lived from farming, livestock and mining. In southern Catalonia they spread a network of small walled settlements around the Ebro. These were very solid structures, reinforced with bastions and towers, which have survived in fairly good condition to this day.

Where to find it

Today, the settlements of Castellet de Banyoles in Tivissa and Moleta del Remei in Alcanar are among the best examples of Iberian culture in Catalonia. Since 2009, Moleta del Remei has had the Casa de Tibast, a reproduction of a protohistoric dwelling that will help you imagine what the whole settlement looked like before it was destroyed. Make the most of the museum resources the site offers to better understand the daily life of the Iberians!
