Castro of Vila Nova de São Pedro

The Castro of Vila Nova de São Pedro is a Chalcolithic fortified settlement in Azambuja, Portugal, dating to 2600-1300 BCE [1]. The site is renowned for the discovery of thousands of arrowheads within its defensive walls [1]. It was a contemporary of the major southeastern Spanish settlements of Los Millares and El Argar [1]. The settlement is associated with the castro of Zambujal near Torres Vedras, one of the most important fortified towns of the Portuguese Chalcolithic period [1].
