Castros de Cantabrie

The castros the most documented area of Cantabrie (Spain) date from the Age of iron, roughly between IVe and 6th centuries before J-C. Historical Cantabrie was at this time there between the area of influence of the civilation of the castros of the western northern area of the peninsula (Asturies and Galicia) and that of the central plate of Castille, and was subject to these two influences. Florus reports that at the end of the Guerres cantabres, the Roman empeuror Auguste obliged the Cantabres to go down from the mountains and to live in the plains. Nevertheless it seems that certain castros continued has to be occupied after the Roman conquest, because one finds at that time traces of this time and posterior. Thus, some castros, used as places crowned for worships breads, were christianized and used with the Old High-Means.
