Lugo, Municipality in northwestern Galicia, Spain

Lugo stands on the banks of the Miño River, with Roman walls extending 2,117 meters in length and reaching heights between 10 to 15 meters.

The Romans established Lucus Augusti in 13 BC as a military base, transforming it into an administrative center for the northwestern region of Hispania.

The San Froilan Festival in October fills the streets with traditional Galician music, regional food markets, and performances lasting over a week.

The municipality contains 59 parishes across its territory and maintains regular train connections to Santiago de Compostela and Madrid through its central station.

The complete Roman wall circuit includes 71 towers and 10 gates, making it the only Roman wall in the world that maintains its entire perimeter intact.
