If there is an ancient city with history, it is Lugo, founded by the Romans under the name Lucus Augusti (the sacred forest of Augustus). Situated on a hill with the Miño river in the background, it is surrounded by a Roman Wall, the best preserved in the Peninsula, along which you can walk and see all the emblematic places of the city. Walking along it is like the stones are talking to you and telling you the stories of the people of Lugo. From it, you can contemplate the Cathedral, whose construction lasted more than a century and which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO along with the wall. In the provincial museum, you can visit an important collection of sacred art, traditional Galician kitchen utensils, mosaics, and a notable collection of goldsmithing. In addition to the city’s traditional festival, San Froilán, in mid-June a Roman festival, Arde Lucus, is celebrated, during which for three days the life of the city mixes with gladiator combats, the Roman market, and the circus, while girls and boys can become Roman legionaries or recreate life in a camp.
