Castro sauna of Punta dos Prados

Curiosity · Ortigueira, Ortegal, A Coruña

Image of Ortigueira, not of the place itself.

Inside the castro a monument with an oven was excavated, that is, a ritual steam sauna with its perforated pedra formosa dividing off the hot chamber; restored and open to visitors, it is one of the few accessible in northern Galicia.
