Bronze Age

Building huts is always possible at the playground. Children get the possibility of making their own play area following their own ideas. Everything needed for the huts is made available: shovels, hammers, crowbar, saw, nails, wood. The playground staff is there to support and advise and intervene in the case of dangerous constructions.

Enclosed in the industrial southern part of the town of Lorca (Murcia), the Archaeological Park of Los Cipreses occupies the site of an important settlement which dates back to the 3rd millennium BC, and belongs to the so called El Algar Culture. It had eight huts of oval shape, half dug in the soil and with stone walls. The settlement was discovered in 1992 during building works for the local sports centre and was therefore excavated.

The incredible settlement, placed on a white stone cylindrical spur, is the most ancient to be open to the public in Andalucía. It is located few kilometres west of the village of Galera. The site dates back to the culture of Argar (1800 BC).

The archaeological park is situated east of the village of Campo Lameiro, in Galicia in the west of Spain. The park is part of the project “four parks for four provinces” launched by Rede Galega do Patrimonio Arqueolóxico and was the first to be realized with funding from regional and ministerial organs.
