Of Roman origin, it was founded in the year 25 BC. C. by Paulo Fabio Máximo and is the oldest in Galicia. Built near a fort, in Roman times it was called Lucus Augusti. Numerous Roman remains, many of them preserved in the Provincial Museum, are testimony to its early years of history, especially its Roman wall, unique in the world, which preserves its entire perimeter, and which was declared a World Heritage Site in 2000.

Lugo is one of the most important cities in Galicia, as well as being the capital of the province together with La Coruña, Orense and Pontevedra.

Its origin is Roman, and its name is the evolution of what was previously Lucus Augusti. The city was founded in the year 25 a. C. and the demonym of the inhabitants is lucense or lugués.
