A spectacular place. To visit it you have to book a guided tour. It is a pity that more money is not invested in this excavation, only 5% has been discovered

If you have the opportunity to visit this you should. It is _not_ generally open to the public. It is neither signed nor does it have many associated artifacts. There are other impressive castros to be seen in Galicia. I particularly enjoyed this one as I happened to get a guided tour.

The visit was great, I returned in 2022 and discovered the new unearthed door. The guide of 10, the material provided is cool, some photos and several replicas of objects found in this and other forts. One of the best visits of this type that I have attended.

It looks like they are starting to take care of it. But nothing is exploited. It can be an attraction of the city if it is given the importance it has. There are guided tours with very fair schedules. They should make a museum, in which a symbolic price is charged, €3, to say the least, and thus finance its care AND conditioning for visits with routes and posters. I will take guided tours because I want to see it.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
