Beautiful and interesting archaeological site taking you back to the Iron Age... is very well kept and with notes in English and Portuguese... very large complex with many houses and walls and even the remains a of the communal bath... is a great experience and looks like a romantic and mythical setting... is historic and a place that the Portuguese people consider a treasure

If you like ruins and stones you may want to look at this one. The Citânia de Briteiros is an archaeological site of the Castro culture located in the Portuguese civil parish of Briteiros São Salvador e Briteiros Santa Leocádia in the municipality of Guimarães; important for its size, \urban\ form and developed architecture, it is one of the more excavated sites in northwestern Iberian Peninsula. Although primarily known as the remains of an Iron Age proto-urban hill fort (or oppidum), the excavations at the site have revealed evidence of sequential settlement, extending from the Bronze to Middle Ages.

Very impressive site. The ruins are completely open to look at, and it's great to see how people used to live here. The lady at the entrance was very friendly.

Very interesting Iron Age settlement. It dates from the same time as the Santa Tegra settlement a little further north in Spain. Very helpful and informative reception staff and a useful map provided. Be careful walking around the site as there are unguarded drops. The way back to Reception from the chapel area is not well marked and we found it a bit of a scramble. Well worth the drive to get there if you are in this part of Portugal.

Wow, What a city! Massive & atmospheric 2,500 yo hill fort. 3 ticket includes museum 6 min away in village which is only worth going to, to see the incredibly intricate bathhouse stone taken off site & put there. Really friendly, helpful & informative staff. This place is a National treasure and deserves more recognition. Oh, paths are really rough, definitely an issue if you have ambulatory issues.

All those little bits of information about the Celts I picked up have been put into context. Utterly sophisticated.

Great site mostly low level remains but fascinating. The rock carvings are very faint so I would recommend a visit to the small museum in the village below which houses some of the more ornate stones from the location. You need to be reasonably fit and able bodied as the site has some steep climbs and descents. The view from the top is great. Remember to bring some water. There is a small visitors centre and coffee shop with a great view of the area.
