El Puig del Cid d’Almenara (la Plana Baixa, Castelló)

Puig del Cid (Almenara, Castellón) is a large fortification located north Sagunto, a short distance away, which was disseminated by L. Mezquita in the late 19th century. Later, it was identified like Roman camp by A. Schulten, but the first interventions that were carried out showed medieval signs. In 1980 a first excavation campaign was carried out in a building located near its southern corner, with their results was made a first chronological approximation. Now, the review of its pottery has made it possible to specify a dating between 8th and 9th centuries, but there are still issues of great importance such as its function and the historical context in which it was built.
