Campa Torres is an extension of land located on Cape Torres, a peninsula that lies in the Cantabrian Sea, in the north of Spain. It overlooks the port of El Musel and is located in Jove, in the western district of the municipality of Gijón (Asturias), some seven kilometres from the city centre.
It is an enclave that has been inhabited since ancient times by different tribes as well as by the Romans, as attested by the archaeological remains and sites that mark the area of Cape Torres and the nearby Mount Areo. For all this we can highlight the following archaeological sites such as the facilities of the Campa Torres Archaeological-Natural Park and contemplate the remains of the archaeological site of the oppidum Noega, a primitive hillfort where the Cilurnigos lived.
From another point of view, Cape Torres, which makes up the camp, has a biological and geological wealth of great importance, with the existence of a characteristic plant substratum.
The fauna of the cape does not detract from the vegetation, being an enclave of great importance for the observation of marine birds.
The museum occupies a former Spanish Civil War bunker for the defence of the Musel. In this building there is an audiovisual room, toilets, work spaces, library and recreation area, with different reproductions, models and audiovisuals.
It is made up of thirteen observation points where, step by step, different aspects of the settlement are shown and explained. Throughout the route, the path is marked out by different pre-Roman dwellings with a circular floor plan (5th century BC), elliptical dwellings and Roman dwellings with a rectangular floor plan (1st to 3rd centuries).
