Castro de Coaña
Castro de Coaña (El Castrillón)
One of the best-preserved Iron Age Celtic hillfort settlements in northern Iberia, with foundations of round stone houses and walls scattered across the hillside.
The site dates from around the 4th century BC through the Roman period. It includes defensive walls, gates, streets and dozens of circular stone house foundations, as well as a structure believed to have been a steam bath. An interpretation centre at the entrance displays excavated artefacts. Admission costs a few euros, and the site is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. It lies in the Navia valley about 30 km from Ribadeo and can be combined with Luarca on a day trip.
