| Sumario: | [EN] The building known as “Casa de la Exedra” is one of the most singular and well-known buildings of the Castro de Elviña (A Coruña). Its architectural complexity and the succession of walls, constructive phases and archaeological contexts have been a real problem for archaeological research. The following work proposes a new approach to this complex, facing an archaeological and architectural analysis of its occupational sequence. An architectural study of the visible structures is carried out, based on the data obtained in a recent archaeological campaign with reliable stratigraphic contexts and radiocarbon dating. The results allow us to review previous proposals and to establish a new approach to the site which relates the building dynamics of the Exedra with the main occupation trends of Elviña and its hinterland. |
