Located in the old town of Pobra de Parga, opposite the parish church of Santo Estevo, in the municipality of Gutiriz, this tower and part of a medieval wall still stands proudly at its highest point. It stands guard from its hill over the Parga River, which flows below it, and connects us to the town via a Gothic bridge. It was built by Juan Pérez Parragués and in 1603 was used as a jurisdictional prison. Currently declared a site of cultural interest, remains of a section of the wall still exist. It is made of large, fine ashlar masonry, reaching a maximum height of eight meters and including a circular bastion about four meters in diameter.

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.

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.

Beautiful baroque church, a stop to pause 🤙

After the renovation, the Albergue in the monastery is actually once again a must on the Camino del Norte. But if you want to take the alternative route to O Pedrouzo to save yourself a day on the overcrowded Camino Frances, I recommend the Eco-Albergue Abeiro da Loba in Madelos.

Take a break, pause and maybe give your legs a refreshment 🤙

Quiet place to take a break during the routes in the area.

Coming from the lake, this is the first view of the large monastery complex
