Tartessos, a reflection in the Guadiana river

Discover the traces of the Tartessians and the marks they left in the southwest of the Iberian peninsula. Dating back to the 9th century BC, this mysterious pre-Roman civilisation adopted a fusion of Phoenician culture and that of the indigenous populations who lived on the banks of the Guadalquivir. They may even have extended to Portugal, although in recent years research has focused on another area: the Middle Guadiana Valley. Several sites in Extremadura are yielding valuable information about this lost culture and revealing the extent of its architecture, goldsmithing, commercial exchanges, religious beliefs and incipient writing system.
