guy Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Using Lidar technology, a fifth-century fortress was found near Santiago de Compestela. The site is called Castro Valente (“Brave Fort”). Quote The fortress’s layout, construction and fragments of pottery found there suggest it was built after the Roman Empire lost control of the region in about the early fifth century A.D., when Spain was overrun by Germanic invaders. Galicia fell to the Suevi people (also spelled Suebi), who originated in the Elbe River region of what's now Germany and the Czech Republic, and the fortress seems to have been built by local people for their defense at that time, Fernández-Pereiro said. https://www.livescience.com/lasers-reveal-ruins-of-5th-century-fortress-in-spanish-forest Edited February 13, 2023 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
