Built on solid rock inside the spectacular protected area Xuvia-Castro, Naraío Castle dates from 14th century. Neverthless, it is said that the remains we can see nowadays are the result of the reconstruction of an ancient fortress.
The precious castle was an unconquerable fortress. To get to the tower of homage we have to cross two doors where can still be seen the Andrade´s coat of arms. Around the tower were found several arqueological remains.
Without a doubt, the most impressive view is obtained from the other side of the river. There, we can appreciate parts of the old walls, the towers and the butresses, that gave its unquestionable defensive nature.
This castle is 12 kilometers away from Moeche Castle. Between the two monuments runs a route that, starting in Moeche, goes through the path of destruction followed by the irmandiños in this territory.
References:The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
