Yacimiento Arqueológico de Numancia
About This Museum
Numancia isn't just ruins on a hill; it's the enduring spirit of a people. Up here on the Cerro de la Muela, you can almost feel the ghosts of the Celtiberian warriors who chose to burn their city rather than surrender to Scipio's Roman legions. The site tells a layered story, from those defiant Iron Age foundations to the orderly Roman streets built right on top. It’s a powerful, windswept place that speaks of resistance and transformation.
Collection Highlights
You'll see the poignant foundations of the circular Celtiberian houses and then walk the stark grid of the Roman town right beside them. Look for the everyday objects that survived—the painted Celtic pottery, Roman coins, and fragments of weapons that make the past feel immediate.
Visitor Information
Do take one of the guided tours; our local guides are passionate and will point out details you'd surely miss on your own. Just remember to bring a jacket—the wind never seems to stop whispering across this plateau.
Architecture & Building
This is an open-air archaeological site where you walk directly on ancient ground, tracing the stone footprints of both indigenous roundhouses and classic Roman urban planning.
