On this virtual walking tour, you will explore the archeological site of O Facho de Donon Hill in Cangas do Morrazo, Galicia, Spain. The Kingdom of Galicia, located in the North-Western part of Spain, and is one of the 7 Celtic Nations (Scotland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Cornwall, Wales, Brittany & Galicia). Come with two enthusiastic local guides Sean & Tiernan to discover one of the most beautiful Celtic settlements and ancient Roman ruins in Galicia. At the top of the O Facho hill, there is a Castro (hill-forts) with breathtaking scenery. Hike with us up to an unspoilt remote area in the Peninsula of O Morrazo, in Donon, on top of a hill at 158 meters high. Get to know the Celtic history and tradition as well as one of the areas that the Romans dominated. On your journey to the top of the O Facho Hill, you will see an ancient guard lookout made of granite called "La Garita", it was used to keep watch of enemy troops that wanted to invade the settlement. It is said that it was also used as a lighthouse to guide the fisherman on their way back home.
Explore a magical place, with remains of the circular stone huts, a sanctuary where the ancient Galicians (castreños/celtic tribes) worshipped the God Berobreus, a god of the Otherworld and beyond. Many people pilgrimaged up the hill and gave stone alters as an offering to the God Breobreus who is known for healing and taking you to the otherworld. On one of the stone altars, there is a Latin inscription... DEO LARI BEROBREO ARAM POSVI PRO SALVTE (GOD BEROBREUS ALTAR SET UP FOR HEALTH/SAFETY). This was a pre-roman (Celtic) Tradition and even some Romans before Cristinaism put up altars as well (Aras Romanas). There is evidence that this tradition dates back farther than the 7th Century BC. This pilgrimage ritual is even way before the Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela even to Jerusalem or Rome, because people pilgrimaged here before Christianism!The archeologist recovered over 160 alters and are in the museums of Museo Quiñones de León and the Museo de Pontevedra.
This ancient Celtic settlement and Roman ruins of O Facho is considered one of the oldest Castros (Hillforts) sites in the Northwest Part of the Iberian Peninsula.
