Bélgica desvela un castillo español del siglo XVI y con él sale a la luz un barrio medieval

Archaeological excavations in Belgium have uncovered the remains of a 16th-century Spanish castle, leading to the concurrent discovery of a previously unknown medieval neighborhood. The site is linked to the historical period of the Spanish Monarchy under the rule of Charles V, who served as King of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor between 1516 and 1556.

The findings offer new insights into the urban landscape of the era, reflecting the expansive influence of the Spanish Empire during the 16th century. The discovery provides a tangible connection to the administrative and territorial reach of Charles V’s reign across his vast European, American, and Asian domains.
