Description
Marking "memory sites" of history. As a holiday destination, Spain has more to offer than beautiful beaches and breathtaking landscapes at altitudes of up to 3,000 metres, which make it possible to combine skiing and swimming in one day. It attracts visitors with unique testimonies of the most diverse cultures since the first pre-Christian millennium: the Iberian-Celtiberian, the Phoenician-Punic, the Greek as well as the Roman and last but not least the Moorish-Arabic.
Often located off the beaten tourist track, archaeological sites provide deep insights into Spanish history. Quite a few of them are considered prominent "places of memory" in Spanish history: Numantia, whose resistance to Rome Cervantes immortalised in a tragedy around 1585; Tarragona, from where Augustus temporarily guided the fortunes of the Imperium Romanum; or Toledo, the myth-enshrouded capital of the Visigothic Empire. The activities of urban archaeology, which began after Franco's death, have brought to light impressive elements of urban life over the past four decades, providing a unique insight into the "Roman Way of Life" in one of the most important and prosperous provinces of the imperial era. This handy guidebook provides the necessary historical know-how to discover and understand ancient Spain in all its complexity.
