The Iberian city of Molí d’Espígol

3D Model

The Iberian city of Molí d’Espígol, located in Tornabous (Catalonia), is one of the most significant remnants of the Iberian tribe known as the Ilergetes. The oldest structures date back to the early Iron Age, around the 7th century BC, starting as a fortress and growing into a large city. It’s situated on a gentle rise in the Urgell plain and covers a vast area, with about a third of the urban core excavated so far.

Declared a Cultural Site of National Interest in 2009, the Molí d’Espígol site is one of the most developed and complex examples of the urbanistic system of the Iberian culture of the Ilergetes, which dominated much of the current provinces of Lleida and Huesca between the 6th and 1st centuries BC. The city was abandoned around 200 BC due to the Second Punic War and, despite a brief recovery around 100 BC, was finally left deserted in the mid-1st century BC.
