Collections

The collections of the Museum of the Castro de Viladonga come, almost exclusively, from the excavations made in the hillfort since 1972. The chronological range embraces mostly from the II to the V century, even if some pieces are from the II and I century B.C. Since 2013, the Museum is depositary of the archaeological materials from the excavations made both in the city and in the province of Lugo. The museum’s pieces catalogue can be consulted in the webpage of the Red Digital de Colecciones de Museos de España (Digital web of Collections of Spain's Museums) (CER.ES).
