Castro of Santa Trega, Celtic archaeological site at Mount Santa Trega, A Guarda, Spain
The archaeological complex contains over 100 circular stone dwellings, defensive walls, and intricate water drainage systems on a 341-meter-high coastal hill.
The settlement flourished between the 1st century BCE and 1st century CE, with archaeological evidence indicating strong maritime trade connections with Roman merchants.
The site represents a complete Celtic settlement that demonstrates the architectural and social organization of the ancient Galician Castro culture.
The archaeological site opens daily from 10:00 to sunset, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the interpretation center.
Ancient petroglyphs carved into the rocks predate the Celtic settlement by 2000 years, including the Sacred Stone with geometric patterns.
