卢戈城墙

Casa_Santo_Estevo

卢戈城是一个保存完好的未解之谜。首先我们来说说城墙吧,它的周长约2.5km,10-15m高。我们所看到的大部分修建于罗马时期。少部分是后来修建的。该城墙为世界历史文化遗址之一。在欧洲,迄今为止,卢戈城是唯一一个拥有完整防御工事的、用墙围起来的城市。也许其他城市也有完整的防御工事,但这个无疑是最杰出的。城市的其余部分保存完好,古色古香。卢戈其它的旅游景点:博物馆,免费参观;大教堂,也是免费的;马赛克之屋,还是免费的;下面的现代温泉酒店罗马温泉浴场,仍然是免费进入。这个城市的东西都可以免费观赏吗?可能吧!

Even on a wet day this was quite something. The wall is high and intact and surrounds the old town area. Plenty of locals stroll along or jog along the top and there are exit points around the route. well worth a bit of time.

I have seen Spanish and Roman Walls all over the world in Avila, Alcala de Henares and Cartagena just to mention a few, but these are the most impressive and well preserved I've seen. Locals stroll and jog on it and you can enjoy them day or night since they are lit after dark. Inside the walls you find equally impressive sites like the cathedral as well as a ton of tapas bars and restaurants. Walking both the walls and the inside streets is a wonderful experience particularly when you do a "tapas bar crawl" like the locals do on a daily basis. This Roman Wall alone is worth the trip Lugo.

We took a stroll around the top of the wall at night. It was beautiful! It is well maintained and goes around the entire old part of the city. Highly recommended at any time, day or night. Lots of locals go for jogs around the top, I might have done the same if it had been warmer!

This wall is amazing in that it is still intact and you can walk around the town on it. To think that "progress" hasn't torn it down! Take pictures and a bottle of water.

The walls are probably about 1 1/2 miles around and give a great circular view of Lugo and the surrounding countryside. They are quite undulating, and popular with visitors and locals alike. My only complaint is that they are heavily used by dog owners/walkers, who do not always clear up after their little darlings!

I have visited several walled cities, but the wall in Lugo beats them all. Some gateways have been modified over time and I am sure that some sections have been rebuilt due to deterioration, but it is amazing that the wall is still complete after almost 2 millenniums, and that you can walk around the entire wall, which we did several times during our visit. The local people jog it for exercise, and it is a great place to get 360 degree views of the area and to see some of the older buildings in town up close. A must see for anyone visiting Lugo.

These 3rd century Roman walls are in amazingly good condition and completely encircle the old town of Lugo. They are more than 2 km long and reach even 15 meters in height. Walk on the top of the walls should not be missed. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. One thing I didn't like - a lot of trash on the part of walls close to cathedral.

Don't miss the classic wall of Lugo, around the old town. You can walk around the complete old town. From the wall you also have a great view to the cathedral.

Lovely city spoilt a tad by the graffiti all over the walls, they really should get it cleaned up. Nice inside the city walls and a great square to stop and see the metal horse sculpture.

An amazing insight into the city as you walk around, seeing the old and new interlinking.The wall is really wide and is a gentle stroll for all ages,

We loved the gentle walk around the city and the views for miles. It was amazing to get a different perspective of the city. The walls are wide, and gently undulating so suitable for all levels of fitness.

This is what makes Lugo such a interesting place to visit . Make sure you walk around the wall as you are able to walk on the top of it . Inside of the walls is a charming old city with restaurants and shopping .

My understanding is that this is the only intact Roman Wall that still encircles the city centre. The gates are beautiful. It's definitely worth it to walk the entire pathway (or jog if you're up for more intense exercise). What interested me about Lugo was the juxtaposition of the old and freshly new. From the wall you can look down at the shells of ancient buildings and see the actual timbers that were used for framing.

The only intact circular Roman Wall of its kind. An Unesco world heritage site. A great place to walk and sightsee or to jog. The top of the wall is very wide and it is obvious that many locals of Lugo come here to jog. It is an easy walk or jog, with many entry/exit points and wheelchair accessible. Bring your camera because the views are amazing!
