Castro of Baroña

The Castro of Baroña stands on a rocky peninsula at sea level, protected by a triple stone wall system at its only land access point.

The fortress was inhabited from the first century BCE until the first century CE, when its residents abandoned it after the Roman arrival in Iberia.

The circular houses without doors indicate that inhabitants entered through the roof, which had openings to release smoke from indoor activities.

The archaeological site remains open every day without admission fees, with a 10-minute walk required from the parking area to reach the entrance.

Archaeological findings of fish hooks and bones reveal that residents consumed turbot, hake, and sea bream from the surrounding waters.
