A Cidá da Saceda is located on a rocky hill at an altitude of 798 m , in the middle of a wide Luso-Galician plain situated between the prominent and cold Serra do Larouco (1,398 m) and the warm depression of the Támega River (385 m). This fortified settlement was established just over 3.5 km northwest of A Cidá de San Millao, one of the most monumental and surprising castros in the entire Monterrei region. The castro or Cidá da Saceda is positioned in a way that allows it to control and visually dominate the area’s resources: water, farmland, natural transit routes, mining resources such as tin, etc., all important elements during the Iron Age (800 BC – Year 0). This elevated fortified village was occupied between the 6th century BC and the 1st century AD and was excavated during the 1980s. Since 2011, it has been declared a Cultural Interest Site.
