Of castros and romans The greatness of Roman cities The cities, besides having administrative or governmental buildings, became big centres for commercial exchange. In the same way, they also had other ludic elements, such as the thermal complexes present in most of them. Ourense, Chaves, Lugo and Braga maintain evidences of sumptuous buildings for thermal uses from this Roman period, taking advantage of the natural hot water resources in the first cases, or building important hypocausts with this aim, such as in Braga, with the great thermal complex of Alto da Cividade. These hypocaust baths, on a smaller scale for its domestic use, are equally present in many villas of the Roman era. In the case of Lugo, the baths date back to the 1st century, when the city was founded. The conservation of part of the original rooms allows to know exactly how their structure was. The current site keeps the apodyterium or changing room, and some rooms of the baths with their floor plans in opus signinum, as well as remains of the former baths with their system of channels for water supply and walls to control the rise of the Miño river. Wall of Lugo (Lugo) 28
From Gallaecia to the Euro-Region Wall of Lugo, ascent to the parapet walk (Lugo) Wall of Lugo, Mosqueira Tower (Lugo) From the relevance that cities had in the Roman world remains the care that was taken to protect them during instability moments. In fact, both Braga and Lugo were walled in the 3rd century. The wall of Lugo is the most characteristic element of the city and the only one from the Roman ages that is entirely maintained in the world. 2266 metres long, 8 to 12 metres high and 4 to 7 metres wide, it covers an area of 34.4 hectares. Even though it is currently not distinguishable, the wall had a trench that was 4 metres deep and 25 metres wide. It is an element that clearly signals the defensive vocation of the wall, formerly crowned by 85 semi-circular fortified towers which had between 10 and 13 metres in diameter. Nowadays 71 cubes at the wall level are preserved, except for a part of A Mosqueira, which keeps its original volume. It has 10 access doors, five originated in the Roman era and other five built in the 19th and 20th centuries. It was declared National Monument in 1921 and World Heritage by UNESCO in 2000, due to its singularity and excellent conservation. 29
