Fortress of San Paio, Medieval fortress in Xiá Friol, Spain
The fortress features a central structure with a prominent tower known as Homenaxe Tour and additional defensive turrets along its perimeter.
The fortress, first documented in 1350, endured damage during the Irmandiños peasant uprising and underwent reconstruction in the 16th and 17th centuries.
The Provincial Council of Lugo transformed the fortress into the Ethnographic and History Museum in 1983, displaying regional artifacts and collections.
Located at Torre de Xiá in Narla with postal code 27226, the fortress museum operates under the management of Rede Museística Provincial de Lugo.
The structure represents medieval military architecture and includes sections from different construction periods, reflecting various architectural modifications through centuries.
