    Good if you like archeology
    The castro is big and the museum is good. It has good places for to take pictures. If you do not like the archeology, probably the place could be result boring

    Romanised Galician "castro"
    The Castro de Viladonga is situated some 20 kms to the North East of Lugo on the main road to Viladonga. At the free site you can view a small museum with finds from the site, reconstructions and an informative introductory video. Outside you progress through the impressive earthworks onto the top of the hill and there you see the remains of dwellings, combining those of traditional circular design and rectangular "Roman" dwellings. There is considerable archaeological work continuing, laying bare the defences of the castro as well as some of the features situated outside the walls including the place where mieral resources were mined for the use of the castro.
