On the hillside of Mount Santa Trega in the southwestern Galician municipality of A Guardia in Spain lies an archeological site of a ‘Castro-Roman’ settlement. The site is located overlooking the mouth of the River Miño giving it a strategic position as a Galician fort.
Santa Trega was inhabited between 100 BC and 100 AD in a period when the process of Romanisation of the Iberian peninsula had already begun.
The most significant archaeological site occupies a 20 hectares area, of which only a small part of it has been dug. The documented origins are from the 4th-century b.C.; it reached its most crucial development in the changing era. In the peninsula of the Trega, an indeed city was developed, with a population of between 3000 and 5000 inhabitants, where the Mediterranean and Atlantic cultures were meeting.
