Places to see in ( Galicia - Spain ) Santa Tecla Celtic Village
The settlers in Monte de Santa Tecla established a culture of hill forts, of which numerous remains still survive. This settlement was discovered in 1913 during building works for a new road. There is a predominance of circular constructions, although there are also oval and square structures with a Roman influence.
A Guarda is the most southerly coastal town in Galicia and the history of a settlement at this location dates back at least 2000 years. Although the town is becoming increasingly popular with tourists.
it is probably A Guarda's it is probably A Guarda's large and carefully restored castro, the Castro de Santa Tecla discovered in 1913, for which the town is best known. The castro complex also has a museum and visitor centre plus some trinket shops and market stalls, the latter in poor and tacky taste.

Monte Santa Trega, A Guarda, Pontevedra, 200 BC to present,The Grovii Celtic Tribe of Gallaecia
A Guide to Monte Santa Trega, A Guarda, Pontevedra, Galicia, Spain, from 200 BC to the present, The Grovii ancient Celtic tribe of Gallaecia, Northern Portugal.
The outline of Mount Santa Tegra form an archaeological site, which is in the Castro de Santa Tegra, belonging to the Celtic culture and the most emblematic and visited the forts Galicians. It was declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument (Spain) in 1931 and also has the consideration of Cultural Interest.
According to the thesis maintained by de la Peña Santos, director of the last campaigns of archaeological excavations in the 1980s, had a continued occupation between the first century BC, soon to begin the process of Romanization of Galicia, and the first century AD , and from that moment began a slow process of abandonment, which could well have been interrupted by sporadic temporary reoccupations in late-Roman era. Petroglyphs were also found in several of the stones from the mountain, drawn around 2000 years before the occupation of the fort.
It is located on Mount Santa Tegra, 341 m of altitude, in the most southwestern extreme of Galicia, in the municipality of Guarda, a privileged place from which dominates the mouth of the river Minho. The hill slopes has some very pronounced cun visual field contour that made him possibly a strategic posted long before the lifting of the castro.
Archaeological excavations
Although the population of the Guard should have known of the existence of traces of old buildings on the hill for a long time, in 1745, when Father Sarmiento visited Guard, made no mention of them, but, on the contrary, made him the lot, its shrine and pilgrimage.
The first discovery of what has been constant in 1862, a sculpture of Hercules made in bronze was found by a stonemasons who worked near the hermitage. This sculpture was stolen from the museum in the 1970s.
In the second half of the nineteenth century the ruins began to be valued at their fair measure. Realize up the first written references to the ruins of the archaeological apontes Ramón López García in 1864, [2] and the witness Manuel Murguía in his work Historia de Galicia in 1888, which is deduced from the ruins of a kinship with the inhabitants race Celtic family of roosters.
In the twentieth century, the Guard was created in 1912, the Society Pro-Monte Santa Tecla, which promoted a year later to perform work of packing the outskirts of the chapel and the layout of an access road to the summit. The works of this road put in the open, in the place known as Campo Redondo, walls and foundations of buildings spans the outer wall of the fort.
Given these findings, the company requested an official authorization to initiate systematic excavations in place, that authorization was granted on February 26, 1914, [3] and that the chief archaeologist named Ignacio Calvo Rodríguez, the National Archaeological Museum (Spain) .
From this moment the site began appearing in the media. Also in 1914 the canon Fontela Domínguez, without any argument, the remains attributed to the Iberian-Roman civilization and identified them with the historic Abóbrica mentioned by Pliny the Elder (theory still followed today by some authors)
First excavations (1914-1923)
From 1914 until 1923 the director of the archaeological work was Ignacio Calvo, who was making known the outcome of proceedings in several articles. The Society Pro-Ride also participates in a zone known as the New Source. Calvo gave the town an occupation from the beginning of the Bronze Age to the Roman period. It was the first author to call it citadel (following the example of Portuguese archeology) and discuss the possibility of identifying it with the mythical Mount Medulio where classical writers also stood the ultimate mythical and heroic resistance of Galician.

Galicia Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Galicie in Spain.
Our journey through romantic northern Spain travels south through Galicia along the Atlantic coast. A Coruña is the region’s largest industrial city and shipping harbour and it thought to have been founded by the Phoenicians in 60 A.D. The Romans conquered this harbour city that has always been associated with the sea and it was from A Coruña that the invincible Spanish Armada set sail in1588 to invade England. Santiago De Compostela is the capital of Galicia and since the Middle Ages it was, apart from Jerusalem and Rome, the most important pilgrimage destination in Christendom. Half a million pilgrims came here each year from all over Europe and Spain’s most religious city continues to attract the faithful. Some centuries ago each of the large villages of the Rias Baixas prospered due to fishing, as did Pontevedra. However, all this changed when its harbour was engulfed by sand some three hundred years ago. In contrast to Spain’s many other harbour cities, the old town of Pontevedra is almost the same now as it was in bygone times with cobbled streets, intimate squares and the residential palaces of the city’s former elite. Across a huge chain bridge that spans the mouth of a deep river is Galicia`s largest city, Vigo. Its name is of Roman origin and it is believed that Vicus Spacorum was the starting-point of Caesar’s campaign against Britannia, as well as a storage area for his Empire’s oil, fish and wine. For many centuries A Guarda, ‘the Female Guard’, has watched over the river border with Portugal and in the wooded mountain city of Monte Santa Tecla the Celts established a settlement that contained more than a thousand buildings that dated back to the 6th and 3rd centuries B.C. and formed part of a prehistoric settlement. Throughout the centuries life in Galicia was not representative of that in the rest of Spain and both Romans and Moors considered it to be too remote for their interests. Maybe that’s what makes it such a special place to be!
