Citânia de Sanfins, Roman archaeological site in Sanfins Lamoso Codessos, Portugal.
The archaeological complex extends across elevated terrain, protected by three concentric stone walls and containing numerous circular dwellings from ancient settlements.
Excavations in the 1950s revealed residential structures, public spaces, and defensive fortifications dating from the 2nd century BC through the Roman period.
The Archaeological Museum exhibits pottery, coins, and artifacts that demonstrate the evolution from Celtic settlements to Roman integration in northern Portugal.
The site opens daily with guided tours available through the Câmara Municipal de Paços de Ferreira, including access to both ruins and museum collections.
The settlement features a reconstructed castro bathhouse containing the Pedra Formosa, a decorated stone structure that represents ancient architectural techniques.
