Castro of San Cibrao de Las, Iron Age hill fort in San Amaro, Spain

The Castro of San Cibrao de Las extends across 384 meters in length and 314 meters in width on a 473-meter elevation hill in Galicia.

The settlement remained active from the second century BC to the second century AD, with substantial development during the Roman presence in Galicia.

The archaeological site reveals the organization of castro communities through its remaining structures, defensive walls, and everyday objects found during excavations.

The site includes a modern visitor center with educational displays, interactive exhibits, parking facilities, restrooms, and a restaurant for guest convenience.

The fortified settlement differs from regional castro structures through its predominant straight wall construction instead of the typical curved architectural elements.
