San Pedro Gate

Highlight • Historical Site

The gate of San Pedro is one of the 10 old entrances to the walled city of Lugo. The evidence that would show that it already existed in Roman times under the name of Sancti Petri, when the town was known as Lucus Augusti, is different.

San Froilán Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of San Froilán belonged to the old hospital of San Juan de Dios. It is located in Plaza El Ferrol, near the Puerta Falsa.
Its origin was a chapel linked to the disappeared hospital of San Bertomeu, founded in 1621, and which a hundred years later became administered by the brothers of San Juan de Dios.

Roman Walls of Lugo

Highlight • Historical Site

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.
