MURALLA ROMANA DE LUGO
Roman wall retaining its entire perimeter, with a walkway serving as a watchtower and pedestrian ring road
Built between the 3rd and 4th centuries, the wall is 2,266 m long, 6 m thick and 10 m high. Its parapet walk serves both as a watchtower over the town and as a pedestrian ring road. The walk continues under the arcades of the Plaza do Campo with its baroque fountain. To learn more about the history of the wall, we recommend a visit to the museum dedicated to it, located in the tourist office. It is the only Roman wall to have preserved its entire perimeter and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000.

La découverte des murailles lorsque l'on arrive en voiture est impressionnante et déroutante. Elles s'étendent sur plusieurs kilomètres et témoignent, s'il le fallait encore , du gigantisme des constructions romaines.
