The Puig de Castellet Archaeological Site, which dates back to the 3rd century B.C., is located 2 kilometres from the centre of Lloret de Mar. The area enjoyed a strategic advantage due to the dominant views that span from the mouth of the Tordera river to the coast of Lloret. It is a small site measuring 650 m2 and containing around 6 dwellings.<\/p>\n
The settlement, which was probably an outpost of a larger centre (possibly the settlement of Montbarbat further inland), is situated on the north-western side of the hill, with a commanding view over the entire coastline yet wholly invisible from the sea.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the function of this settlement was surveillance and territorial control, and it possibly housed a group of warriors and their families. It was abandoned around 200 B.C., coinciding with the end of the Punic Wars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categoria_cultura":[],"class_list":["post-11465","cultura","type-cultura","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"imatges":[{"imatge":6039},{"imatge":6042}],"blocs":[{"nom_categoria":"Price","contingut_categoria":"Adults<\/strong>: \u20ac 3,10\r\nReduced:<\/strong> \u20ac 1,50 (retirees, young persons\u2019 card holders, student card holders, family card holders and people with disabilities)"},{"nom_categoria":"More information","contingut_categoria":"http:\/\/lloretdemar.org\/images\/publicacions\/puig-castellet-cat.pdf<\/a>"}],"direccio":{"titol_bloc":"Contact details","contingut_bloc":"Adress<\/strong>\u00a0Urbanitzaci\u00f3 Roca Grossa C.\/ Poblat Ib\u00e8ric , 17310 Lloret de Mar\r\nTel:<\/strong>\u00a0+34 972 365 788\r\nE-mail:<\/strong> central-turisme@lloret.cat<\/a>\r\nWeb:<\/strong> www.lloretdemar.org<\/a>","mapa":{"address":"Ronda del Poblat Ib\u00e8ric, 12, 17310 Lloret de Mar, Girona, Espanya","lat":41.716113000000007,"lng":2.8481401000000002,"zoom":14,"place_id":"ChIJjyBJ31AXuxIRVBUXVeWHotc","street_number":12,"street_name":"Ronda del Poblat Ib\u00e8ric","city":"Lloret de Mar","state":"Catalunya","state_short":"CT","post_code":17310,"country":"Espanya","country_short":"ES"}},"mes_informacio":{"titol_mes_info":"Timetable","contingut_mes_info":"From June to August<\/strong>:<\/span>\r\nSaturdays from 5 to 7 p.m<\/span><\/span>"},"viatge":{"titol_viatge":"","contingut_viatge":"","link_viatge":""},"apartats":null},"yoast_head":"\n
