Castle of Penafiel

Monument · Carnota, Muros, A Coruña

Image of Carnota, not of the place itself.

Rock fortress of terraced constructions looking out over the final stretch of the river Xallas, destroyed like the rest of those in the concello, the Galician municipality, during the Irmandiño revolt of 1467; it preserves an engraved inscription of excommunication that some authors take back to the twelfth century, a testimony to the struggle between the ecclesiastical lordship and the local people.
