Castle Lupario, Iron Age hillfort in Bastavales and Ribasar, Spain
The stone walls and defensive structures of Castle Lupario extend across elevated terrain between the municipalities of Brión and Rois in Galicia.
Archaeological excavations at Castle Lupario reveal continuous settlement patterns from the Celtic period through the Roman occupation of the Iberian Peninsula.
The site holds connections to the legend of Queen Lupa and the arrival of Saint James's remains to the Galician coast in ancient times.
Visitors can reach Castle Lupario through marked paths from both Bastavales and Ribasar, with parking areas available at the base of the hill.
The fortress received official protection status as a Cultural Heritage Site in December 2009, recognizing its archaeological significance in the region.
