Castromaior Hill Fortification
This partially excavated hill fort is next to the Way of Saint James and it is believed that it was occupied until more or less the 1st century A.D.
It stands on a gentle hill with a panoramic view of the right bank of the river Miño, but as this is not steep terrain it was necessary to build a number of defensive elements, making 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 neighbourhoods.
