Castro of Troña, Celtic archaeological site in Mondariz-Balneario, Spain.

The Castro of Troña stands at 280 meters above sea level on Mount Doce Nome de Xesús, featuring oval-shaped fortifications and broad terraces on its western slope.

The settlement dates back to the 6th century BC, with systematic archaeological excavations beginning in 1927 under researchers Luis Pericot and Florentino López Cuevillas.

The archaeological findings at Castro of Troña, including pottery and tools, demonstrate the daily practices of ancient Celtic tribes who inhabited the fortified settlement.

The site remains open to visitors under management by Concello de Ponteareas, with discovered artifacts displayed at the Archaeological Museum of Vigo and Municipal Museum of Puenteareas.

The site contains a wide defensive trench carved directly into the bedrock along its eastern perimeter, marking the settlement boundaries of this ancient Celtic fortress.
