Castro de Castromaior
This partially excavated castro is located next to the Camino de Santiago and it is estimated that it was occupied from the 5th century BC until more or less the 1st century AD.
It sits on a gentle hill with a panoramic view of the right bank of the river Miño, but as it is not a steep terrain, it was necessary to build a series of defensive elements that made this settlement unique.
An intricate system of ditches, walls, embankments and palisades surrounds the entrance to the settlement, where the houses have straight, regular walls and are grouped into neighborhoods.
