LARA DE LOS INFANTES Burgos, Spain.

Town of the Conventus Cluniensis in Tarraconensis, 18 km from Salas. Pre-Roman castrum with three walled enclosures. In one, called La Muela, rectangular and circular houses with pottery and bronzes have been excavated. Near the present village was a Roman settlement, rich in funerary inscriptions (CIL II, 2850H), characteristically beveled. Nearby is the 7th c. church of Quintanilla de las Viñas.
