Numantia was a Celtiberian city that withstood the Roman army’s siege for years. It fell in 133 BC after Scipio Aemilianus’s siege and became a symbol of resistance in Spanish history.

The site is in Garray, about 7 km from Soria. You can walk the streets of the settlement and see reconstructions of houses and defences that help you imagine life in the city.
