Castro de Elviña is an ancient Celtic hillfort (castro) dating back to the Iron Age, located on a hill overlooking A Coruña. Visitors can explore the remains of circular stone houses, defensive walls, and a complex layout that reveals the sophisticated urban planning of the Gallaeci people. The site provides a tangible connection to pre-Roman life in Galicia, with interpretive panels explaining the structures. Walking among the ruins, you can imagine daily life in this fortified settlement, surrounded by lush greenery and panoramic views of the city and coast.
