Lugo is, above all, a city with a wonderful roman past. In fact, the Wall that surrounds it is a World Heritage Site. Although it is not the only place where that time can still be glimpsed: the Roman bridge or the baths are a must. Although its impressive heritage did not end with the fall of the empire and continues with jewels such as the cathedral or the Virgen de los Ojos Grandes, a beautiful medieval polychrome stone carving. In addition, to recover your strength, from so much travel 2,000 years ago, some tapas and a Mencía wine in the crowded taverns of the old town are wonderful. Even if it rains.

However, the highlight is the underground floor, where you can see the elements of the Roman period that came to light after the excavation of the area: domus from the early imperial period (1st quarter of the 1st century BC-270 AD), cloth of the original wall and Mithraic temple.
