Who were the Celts and the Iberians?
During the Metal Ages, people from other parts of Europe came to the Iberian Peninsula. They settled in different areas and developed advanced cultures. The two main cultures were the Celts and the Iberians.
🤝 The Celtiberians
In some areas, especially in the centre of the Peninsula, the Celts and the Iberians mixed. These people are called the Celtiberians. Do you know any towns with the word castro in their name? Many come from the Celtic castros!
