In this episode we explore the Castro de Coaña, the remains of an Iron Age fortified town in western Asturias, Northern Spain. Special thanks to Ireva Drones for the drone footage!

I love that there are people like you who care about knowing the places they visit, and don't go around taking photos without knowing what they are photographing. We want more tourists like you.

Son mas populares los gallegos. En Asturias han sido la mayoría destruidos, locales (toma de piedras para sus casas) o por malas gestiones políticas, construir encima. Lo peor es que se ha perdido para siempre su historía, alguno podía guardar mayor antiguedad, del periodo del bronce, y la ruta la plata, con opciones a herencia ibera o anteriores. Herecencias com,o el acueducto de Segovia, que de romano realmente tiene poco, el tallado de las piedras no es romano, muy anterior en miles de años, mas parecido a las obras minenas en Creta upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/Mycenae_lion_gate_dsc06382.jpg/1920px-Mycenae_lion_gate_dsc06382.jpg

Very spruce and with very beautiful shots: an appreciable work, congratulations. Historic attention is drawn, however, to the underlining of some aspects of our past and the complete forgetting of others of parallel or greater value. Certainly it was harder for Rome to conquer Hispania citerior than Gaul itsef (though the latter became more renowned): they began her occupation before and then ended it later (the methods were equally brutal: they were the same throughout their empire ). However, once the Romanization and Christianization was concluded, these were much more complete and radical (including the Vascons) than in the other Celtic nations outside Spain. The struggle of the Astures, Cantabrians, Vascons... against the Moors was infinitely longer and more determined and it's quite remarcable, that it took them out of their ancestral confines to repopulate with their blood, their traditions, techniques and customs the whole of the Peninsula down to Tarifa during the following centuries. A memory to the approximately 300 victims of Guernica, which is quite far from the depicted region, is to be appreciated and regretted; but It really catches closer the contemporary example of the more than 3000 of the communist revolution of '34, the savage siege and bombing of Oviedo by the Popular Army ('36), or the raids of robbery and murder of the red maquis yet during the 40s We have a very long and complex history, it is worth filling all possible gaps. Thanks again: greetings & blessings from Spain.

There are more than 200 "castros" like this one in Asturias, most of them not yet explored. They were the villages were native asturians lived some years before the Roman conquest. ..

I'm not sure but I would research about the actual origins of Asturias name and its link with the city of Astorga (León), known as Asturica Augusta in Roman times, and one of the 3 capitals (conventum) of the Roman province called Gallaecia, the others being Braccara Augusta (Braga) and Lucus Augusti (Lugo). Where is the epicentre of the Castro Culture? Gallaecia...again.

The name of Asturias comes from the Ástura river, which is the current river Esla. Hence the name of the Celtic tribe of the Astures, whose capital in its expansion towards the south was Asturica Augusta, Astorga.
@juanmanuelgonzalezvazquez1913 Жыл бұрын
The city of Asturica Augusta had that name since it was originally the camp of the X Legio Augusta that fought the Astures and Cantabrians in the Cantabrian wars around 14 BC. The Astures (astures in Latin) were a group of Celtic and pre-Celtic peoples who inhabited the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula and whose territory roughly included the autonomous community of Asturias, the province of León, to the west of the Esla river, and Zamora to the north. del Duero and west of Esla as well as the eastern area of Lugo and Orense and part of the Portuguese district of Braganza.

Where did the name Castro come from?
@pieskurodriguez33034 жыл бұрын
An ancient defensive settlement, that is castro. The name comes from the latin castrum that means military fortification. That is the name romans gave to these settlements when they conquered Iberia. Later Castro became a surname as well.

*The Basque Country is very much celtic. There is even a Celtic Castro in Bilbao surrounding Mountains. By Analysing the Etymology of names on the Basque region, many are of Celtic origins. It has already been proven that basques lived in the Pyrenees and later migrated (with the fall of the Roman Empire) into the current Basque country assimilating the local Celtic tribes to form the Modern Basque country. So what you say in the min **3:45** isnt really true* . Also the Cantabri and Astures are not clearly known to have been Celtic or Local Pre-Celtic people ruled by Celtic Elites and/or have adopted celtic cultural elements and language.
