🔲 Pedra Das Cabras
The Pedra das Cabras is a prehistoric rock art site located near Palmeira in the municipality of Ribeira, Galicia, Spain. This site is particularly significant for its petroglyphs (rock carvings), which are typical of the prehistoric cultures that inhabited the region.

The Pedra das Cabras features engravings on a large granite rock. The carvings depict animal figures, believed to represent goats or other wild animals. The animals are stylized, with some carvings showing an unusual number of legs (six in some cases), which may have been an artistic attempt to depict movement.

The carvings date back to the Neolithic period (circa 4000–2000 BCE) or the Bronze Age (circa 2000–800 BCE).

🔲 Castro de Baroña
Castro de Baroña is an impressive archaeological site located in Galicia, Spain. Situated on a rocky peninsula near Porto do Son, it provides fascinating insights into Celtic culture and architecture.

Castro de Baroña dates back to the Iron Age, approximately between the 1st century BCE and the 1st century CE. It was inhabited by Celtic tribes known for their unique circular architecture and community-focused settlements. The site features two defensive walls and the remains of about twenty round or oval houses, a hallmark of Celtic building style.

The settlement is located on a rocky peninsula jutting into the Atlantic Ocean, offering natural protection from invaders. This strategic location provided its inhabitants with both security and access to maritime resources.
