Its defining feature is the imposing Roman Wall, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the only one in the world that remains intact. Walking its over two kilometers of ramparts is an unforgettable experience and a unique way to view the city. Within its walls, Lugo offers a vibrant historic quarter where Roman history blends with medieval charm. The Cathedral of Saint Mary, with its mix of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles, is a spiritual stop of great importance.
