Castro's Fortress

In 1665, the Castro Fortress was constructed to protect the city from continuous attacks by the British Navy. During that time, the Castro, the San Sebastian Fortress and the city wall were a strong defensive system of the city. This defensive system was not very much effective because it couldn't stop hostile interventions. At present, the fortress has become a famous tourist attraction because of beautiful gardens, open spaces and superb views.

There are a lot of steps if you visit this spectacular fort directly from the town. The lower part of the climb is supported by some ascending escalators. The view from the top is worth the climb. The fort is very historic with its gun mountings and its ambiance of quiet and beauty, which belies its massive military presence over the anchorages and town. In addition the very old settlement dating from 3AD is also worth a view, but it may not be open when you get there. It is clearly visible from the road.

While visiting Vigo we parked at monte del Castro. The castle is nice to see as well the 360 views on the city. The park is nice. The stairs leads you to the old city centre which is currently fully lighted for Christmas. The walk is around 8-12 minutes.
