Take a live-streaming virtual tour with us climbing to the top of Castro de Montealegre in Domaio, Moaña, Galicia, Spain. A small archaeological site dating from 1st Century BC (But the whole hill-fort dates as far back as 8th Century BC) with remains of the Celtic (Pre-Roman Castrexa Culture) Huts and Petroglyphs rock carvings. It actually was a very big hill-fort, which reached 3 hectares (7.4 acres) and is estimated to have been inhabited by about 300 people, it is considered along with hill-forts such as Santa Trega or San Cibrao among the largest found in Galicia.
A castro is a Hill-fort (fortified settlement) normally associated with the Celtic culture. They can be found in Northern Spain, particularly in Asturias, Galicia, Cantabria, Basque Country and the province of Ávila. Even after the Celts, they were inhabited by the local Iron-Age Castrexa culture (People of the Hill-forts).
We will take a walk through the woodland trails surrounding this historic site up the hill at 400 metres (1313 feet) high, with high slopes of up to 55%. Here they found several round and oval stone buildings (huts). The castro has a defensive wall on its southwestern slope and a natural slope to the west and north. Montealegre was excavated by Antonio Losada Diéguez in two campaigns (1925-1926). They found over 20,000 artifacts on this site, pieces of all kinds: ceramic, stone, hooks, needles and fibulae made of bronze, remains of amphorae, kitchen appliances, even a coin with the effigy of the Roman emperor Tiberius (14-37 AD), which proves the later Romanization of this site. At the top of the hill, there are several petroglyphs rock carvings that date back even before the hill-fort.
At the end of our live-streaming virtual tour, we will listen to some Galician Celtic music of Anxo Lorenzo from Moaña together (via Spotify)! Every year in August people come from all over the Celtic Music world to Moaña, Galicia, Spain for the Interceltic Festival of O Morrazo. They have been celebrating this Celtic Music festival event for over 36 years now, founded on 15 August 1985. A must-see if you are a Celtic Folk Music fan!
