    The Castro da Pobra de Parga Castle, located in the municipality of Guitiriz (Lugo), is an ancient medieval fortress that is now in ruins, but preserves architectural elements of great historical interest. Today, only a wall of the enclosure and a cylindrical tower measuring approximately 4 meters in diameter, with ashlars reaching 8 meters in height, remain.

    It was built on an ancient Galician-Roman fort, giving it deep historical roots.
    The original fortress was rebuilt in the late 14th or early 15th century by Juan Pérez Parragués, and in 1603 it was used as a jurisdictional prison.
    The castle served to guard the road between Lucus Augusti (Lugo) and Flavia Brigantium (Betanzos), a strategic route in medieval Galicia.
