Castelo Da Rocha Forte in Santiago de Compostela: photos, reviews

About

Castelo Da Rocha Forte stands as a remarkable medieval fortress in Santiago de Compostela, showcasing the grandeur of Gothic architecture. Once the residence of Santiago's archbishops, this historical stronghold played a vital strategic role. Visitors are welcomed to explore the site with ease, benefiting from ample parking and pathways designed for accessibility, although the tower remains a challenge for those with limited mobility. While the fortress remains enclosed by a perimeter fence, a series of interior walkways allow for an interactive viewing experience. Open around the clock, guests can climb a mini tower for a closer look at the castle's remains or ascend the metal observation tower for panoramic views. Informative signs and photos enhance the visit, making it an educational outing suitable for families.

Sitio totalmente descoñecido para min. Ten un bonito mirador creado dende o cal podes ver todos os restos e onde explican. Sen embargo, a maioría dos restos dos carteles que o bordean atópanse en mal estado. Actualmente na zona están mellorando as beiras para transcurrir polo río Sar e Sarela
