Our celtic ancestors took up this land during several generations until Romans imposed their culture, nearly 2000 years ago. From that age there are left linguistic elements, many pieces such as arms, jewells and tools and also remains of their famous buildings and settlements. |
In Riveira, yet not deeply searched, the most popular celtic site is in Monte da Cidá (Mount A Cida), 40 m. upper than A Pedra da Rá viewpoint, on the peak known as O Castro (name given to celtic settlements). It is easy here to identify the rest of some wall from their homes, or buried circular shapes.
Other celtic remains are found in Artes, Castiñeiras, Monte (Mount) Facho or Monte Tahume, and easier to be reached, those known as Castros do Porto de Abaixo, placed in the Dune Park, 100 m. away the Vixán lagoon. |

Aguiño |
|
|
 |
This is the name given to the old breakwater placed at A Covasa, Aguiño. This range of huge square stones layed in three levels has split the searchers. Some reports claim those still very well set stones are remains of a pier built by Phoenicians to put in at Aguiño during their frequent trade trips by our coast some centuries before Christ, when this people lived through its splendourous success summit on goods trading. Though, others assert they are vestiges from a salting factory, dating from the flourishing times when catalonians promoted the local economy.
The Phoenician quay is 500 m. far away from the real Aguiño pier. There are some indicating signs and the only trouble to access is the last stretch of the way, not asphalted.
