Cáparra

The Roman ruins of Cáparra lie in the Alagón River valley in northern Extremadura, Spain [1]. Once a municipality of Roman Lusitania within the Conventus Iuridicus Emeritensis, it was accessed via the ancient Vía de la Plata road [1] [2]. The site features notable architectural remains including an arch [2] [3]. Though sometimes described as having pre-Roman origins, this interpretation is debated due to the site's lack of defensive positioning and limited archaeological evidence [1]. The settlement was permanently abandoned [1] [2].
