The Celts in the Iberian peninsula were traditionally thought of as living on the edge of the Celtic world of the Hallstatt and La Tène cultures that defined Iron Age Celts. Celtic or Proto-Celtic cultures and populations did exist, even if their cultures do set them somewhat apart from the rest of the Celtic world in Antiquity.

Asia Minor/Anatolia

In the third century BC, Gauls immigrated from Thrace into the highlands of central Anatolia (modern Turkey). These people, called Galatians, later merged with the local population but retained many of their own traditions.
