Description
La Almoloya is a palace in southern Spain made by the Argaric society. The Argarics were a Bronze Age culture overall characterised by a complex settlement system, with urban centres and monumental structures, a division of labor, political boundaries and institutionalised violence. They are also known for women being buried with elaborate grave goods. La Almoloya itself sits atop a hill overlooking forests. All that remain are the stone indicating the foundations of the structure. This site is important to further the United Nation's sustainability goal of improving gender equality because it shows how women may have also had political and social power in a state-based hierarchical society. Therefore, this can empower women and question traditional views of gender and power.
