The Citania de Briteiros is an archaeological site located in Portuguese. It is one of the most excavated sites in the northwestern Iberian Peninsula, which revealed evidence of sequential settlement extending from the Bronze to the middle Ages.

The Citania de Briteiros was constructed between the first and second centuries BCE. It is one of the most expressive proto-historical towns in the Iberian Peninsula in terms of size, the monumentality of its wall, urbanism and architecture. It is one of the paradigmatic sites in the History of Portuguese and Peninsular Archaeology.

This commemorative stamp was issued by Portugal on Citania de Briteiros in 2011 to commemorate this historical site. The size of this multicolor stamp is 30.6 x 40 mm, and the face value is 0.32 euros.
