Gold torc of Cerdido

Historical milestone · Cerdido, Ortegal, A Coruña

Image of Cerdido, not of the place itself.

In the castro (fortified hilltop settlement) near Vila da Igrexa a gold torc appeared in 1840 of a type almost unique in Galicia, related to the Celtic jewelry of Ireland, which made the site a reference point for castro goldwork.
