The city council of La Mancha commissioned the excavation of a bronze age site, but specialists also found a fortification of Roman times 

Archaeologists in Brazatortas, Spain, have discovered an important Roman republican site while searching for remains of the Bronze Age. The team, led by Alfonso Monsalve, found lead and ceramic shells from Roman times. The site, believed to have been a fortification during the Sertorian Wars (82-72 BC), has revealed remains of defensive buildings, an oven, and amphorae from Italy, indicating that Rome cared for its soldiers even in remote places. Lithic tools from the Bronze Age have also been found, highlighting the relevance of the findings. The Municipality of Brazatortas has invested more than 230,000 euros in the archaeological campaigns, seeing them as an opportunity to attract tourism and combat depopulation.
