The Monte do Boi Fortress, also known as Monterreal Castle, is an impressive fortification located in Baiona, Pontevedra. This fortress has a rich history dating back to the 12th and 16th centuries, and has been a strategic point for the defense of the entrance to the Vigo Estuary and the Galician Rías Bajas.
Today, the fortress houses the Parador de Baiona, a hotel that combines the elegance of a stately palace with the history of a medieval castle.
