Talamanca de Jarama is a small Spanish town of 3,450 inhabitants near Madrid. But it is also home to a major archeological discovery.
Archaeologists have discovered a wall and its 7 turrets dating back to the 13th century. Turrets are small towers that became a regular feature on medieval castles.
"It's not everyday you find a 13th century wall with seven towers," the director general of Cultural Heritage, Paloma Sobrini, said.
