Castillo de Os Medos
Os MedosEstás (Santiago)36730 TomiñoPontevedra
The Fortress of Medos is part of the Goián-Vilanova-Lovelhe border system. It is one of the most unknown pieces of the defensive military system of the Baixo Miño. The aim of this fortress was to block the Portuguese from crossing to Tui, as they had built the Fortress of Nuestra Señora de la Concepción in Goián to act as logistical support for the conquest of places in the north part of the Miño River, in particular, Tui that served as the core of the region at the time. Currently, a large part of the fortress is covered with eucalyptus and pines for forestry and the rest is farm of kiwis that will disappear in the near future
