Hiking

Built more than 17 centuries ago following the guidelines of the elegant works of Vitruvius, the Wall of Lugo measures more than 2 km and has 10 gates. Walking along the top of the wall that in some sections reaches 7 m wide, and stopping at some of its 71 towers that are preserved (of the original 85) is to feel the power of Imperial Rome up close. And also, enjoy the best views.
