Tourist Attractions in Lugo

Lugo, situated on the upper Miño (Galician Minho), in the uplands of Galicia in northwestern Spain, is chief town of its province and the see of a bishop. It is a town with a long history: there was a Celtic settlement on the site, and the Romans developed it into an important city and military base under the name of Lucus Augusti. The town has preserved most of its circuit of Roman walls, with numerous towers. When the Moors, under their general Muza, attacked the town in 714 they were unable to destroy the walls and had to content themselves with burning the place down.
