About Castro de Santa Trega
Galicia
High on Monte Santa Trega overlooking the Miño River and the Portuguese border, this remarkable archaeological site reveals the remains of a large pre-Roman hill settlement. The circular stone houses give an evocative sense of how communities lived here more than two thousand years ago, long before Galicia became part of the Roman world.
The settlement dates from the Iron Age, with evidence of occupation stretching from before the Roman period into the early centuries AD. Its hilltop location is as impressive as the archaeology itself, with sweeping views over the Atlantic and into Portugal. The combination of ancient culture and extraordinary scenery makes Santa Trega particularly compelling for travellers interested in Galicia’s Celtic and pre-Roman heritage.
