Monte do Facho is a hill located at an altitude of 184 metres, in Costa da Vela. It takes its name from the lookout post erected on its summit.
The archaeological interventions established that the first human settlement goes back to the Bronze Age (9th century B.C.E.). A fort and pre-Roman sanctuary was built in the 4th century B.C.E., which remained intact until the 1st century B.C.E. and whose ruins are still preserved. In the 3rd and 4th centuries, a Galician-Roman sanctuary was erected in order to cater to the ancient beliefs. Later on, in the 17th century, a military lookout was built atop of the hill.
Throughout the centuries, Monte do Facho was home to many different life expressions, and all of them are part of Galician history. In addition, the top of the hill boasts glorious panoramic views of the Cíes Islands, the cliffs, and the rías.
