Shuttlewulf visited on 1st Sep 2019 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 5 It's a multi-era site, with a few hut circles, with a few nominally rebuilt, though hardly weather tight etc. Museum (free) is a good general introduction, new and high quality. Good toilets, big car-park, also a bar area -probably popular in the holidays

Castro de São Lourenço is a Castro in the community of Vila Chã near the town of Esposende, District of Braga, North Portugal. There are several restored Celtic homes and a small museum. It is a beautiful site with a great view from the church which was obviously added later.

Check out the website.

I'm glad this was on the front page when I decided to look at the Portal! I had seen pictures and an article about it when I was doing research for a tour of Portugal, but that tour wasn't going that far north, so I didn't write it down. Now we're thinking of adding an extension to the tour that will take on parts of northern Portugal, and I couldn't remember the name of this site. Thank you.
