Visit to the Celtic fort. A guide will wait for you in this truly ancient and energetic site. The Troña Fort, a key archaeological site in Galicia, offers a glimpse into a Castro-era settlement. At 229 meters above sea level, it overlooks the Tea River valley. While its origins may predate the 6th century BC, the fort’s preserved ruins date from this period, reflecting its peak around the 1st century BC and 2nd century AD. Roman occupation led to its abandonment as settlers moved closer to the Tea River for better resources.
