Castro of Santa Trega

Also known as Santa Tecla, Santa Tegra

Santa Trega, or Santa Tecla, is a hill above the mouth of the Minho River at A Guarda in Galicia, Spain, crowned by one of the best known hillforts of the Callaeci. The settlement, occupied from about the 1st century BCE to the 1st century CE, had hundreds of round stone houses, some of which have been reconstructed. Its finds are shown in a museum on the hill.
