Brandomil is a place steeped in history that has been maintained for centuries as a strategic point of communications. Its bridge over the Xallas River, although not Roman in its construction, dates back to the origins of a settlement that became the westernmost Roman town of the Empire.
Under the lands of Brandomil are hidden archaeological remains of great value: funerary monuments, altars dedicated to deities such as Fortuna or Cosus, and the memory of a fort that coexisted with the arrival of Mediterranean settlers. Recent excavations place the extension of the city at more than twenty hectares, demonstrating its importance in antiquity.
The trail allows you to approach the Pozo Limideiro mine, witness to the exploitation of gold and tin that marked the life of the area. It is also recommended to visit the Arca da Piosa, a Neolithic dolmen that inspired the poet Pondal, who associated it with the tomb of a legendary warrior.
This trail not only speaks to us of stones and archaeological remains, but also of the connection between landscape, history and collective memory. A way to immerse yourself in the oldest identity of Zas.
