Vigo historical and archaeological site promotion

Overview

The city of Vigo is enhancing the promotion and accessibility of its historical and archaeological landmarks. Initially, the O Castro fortress hosted a theatrical reenactment titled ‘Vigo 1719: Unha loita esquecida’ to commemorate the ten-day siege by British troops during the War of the Quadruple Alliance.

Following this event, the city announced expanded programming and visiting hours for the O Castro Fortress, the O Castro Archaeological Site, and the Toralla Roman World Interpretation Center. These initiatives include new guided tours, such as ‘360 years of the Fortress history’, workshops, and children’s camps. To facilitate these changes, Vigo is implementing a unified online reservation system and increasing weekly opening hours at several sites.
