The Provincial Council of Castellón, the Benicarló Town Council and the Universitat Jaume I of Castellón have once again organised the summer course which since 2005 has been held at the Centre Cultural Convent de Sant Francesc (MUCBE) in Benicarló, taking advantage of the town's links with the Iberian ancestors who inhabited the current archaeological remains of the village of El Puig de la Nau.

With the title "Archaeoastronomy and antiquity" and directed by doctors Arturo Oliver and Juanjo Ferrer, the training course that will take place on 19 and 20 July has the scientific support of the Archaeological and Prehistoric Research Service of the Provincial Council of Castellón, the Antiqua research group of the Universitat Jaume I and the Vice-rectorate for Research and Transfer.

The event annually attracts an audience interested in the dissemination of history and serves as a training activity for university students and even as a refresher course for teaching professionals at different levels. The content of this year's course links the study of prehistory and ancient history with archaeoastronomy.

Archaeoastronomy is a science that combines astronomical and archaeological studies. Its application helps to uncover the knowledge and understanding that our ancestors had of celestial phenomena and the extent to which the position and behaviour of the stars influenced their lives. Its content approaches the human behaviour that gave rise to cosmological and religious thought and how it can be traced through the archaeological record in many of the sites of the various cultures of the Near East and the Mediterranean.
