Castro de Santa Tecla

Highlight • Historical Site

The castros were fortified enclosures, surrounded by moats and walls. Inside, the stone houses, with circular layouts and thatched roofs, were distributed in neighbourhoods, separated by streets and squares. Other longer constructions functioned as meeting or worship spaces, and some villages even had steam baths. The Castro de Santa Tecla, in the Galician town of A Guarda (Pontevedra), is a representative example, but there are more.

Monte de Santa Trega

Highlight • Viewpoint

A small mountain that hosted one of the largest Celtic settlements in the northeast of the Peninsula. Mount Santa Tecla –Santa Trega, in Galician– and the fort of the same name. The Santa Tecla castro is the most emblematic and visited in Galicia and it is not surprising at all. A relatively well preserved citania –pre-Roman fortified city–, a small museum with unique pieces and sensational views.
