The castro de Marce, in the municipality of Pantón, offers beautiful views of the area, the Miño river and the Os Peares reservoir.
This prominent point on the Miño was the home of the xacios or aquatic men, according to local traditions. Thanks to its elevated position, it was possible to monitor a large area of the banks and the old port of Chouzán, on the opposite bank of the river, thus being a very important strategic point.

Castro de Marce in Pantón is a beautiful viewpoint shrouded in mystery and legend. According to local legends, this high promontory overlooking the Miño was home to the mythical Xacios, or merpeople. From its strategic summit it was possible to observe a wide area of the river banks and in particular the old Puerto de Chouzán on the opposite bank, called Porto Monsulio in medieval documents. The land on which this prehistoric settlement was built belonged to the monastery of Santo Estevo de Chouzán and later to the nunnery of Santa María a Nova in Lugo.
