Ulaca

Ulaca is a large Iron Age hillfort near Solosancho in the province of Ávila, Spain, and one of the main oppida of the Vettones, enclosing more than 60 hectares within its walls. It is known for a rock-cut altar with steps, usually interpreted as a place of sacrifice, and a rock-cut building thought to be a sauna. It was abandoned in the 1st century BCE.
