Arqueologia - Cividade de Bagunte
With a known chronology of occupation from the 4th century BC to the 4th century A.D. (based on a ceramological analysis), the City of Bagunte is known, from an early age, as an ancient settlement. In the 18th century, Jerónimo Contador de Argote, quoting the book from the Counties, mentions the existence, in Monte da Cividade, of the ruins of an ancient city. It is a village of enormous dimensions, with more than 50 hectares of interesting area. This village is the object of a cultural dynamism project - the Bagunte archaeological field.
