Castro de Ulaca is a stunning mountain-top megalithic complex that looks like it is located in the highlands of Peru. But it is not! It is located in near Villaviciosa, central Spain and dates back at least 2700 years and is surrounded by a massive defensive wall. The famous ‘sacrificial altar’ made of granite has niches and steps, plus what looks like a section of a polygonal wall, which form part of the same rock-cut hypogeum sanctuary. Further up the hill is what is called the ‘ritual sauna’, another rock-cut space with a porthole stone and other features. We also find balanced rocks, cup-marks and nubs like we find in Peru. Numerous Verracos (bull or boar) statues were found here and now located in local town squares and museums. Castro de Ulaca is said to have been the ancient capital of the Vettones (a Celtic Tribe) but has not been properly excavated to date. Includes exclusive aerial footage.
