Los Castros
- San Martín de Oscos

The castros are population centers of an eminently strategic and defensive nature. They are found throughout the northwest of the peninsula (castreña culture). These settlements arise in the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age, reaching its peak during the Second Iron Age.

Las Minas
- San Martín de Oscos
- Mines
There are remains in the Oscos region that tell us that mining was an activity that was developed in the area since prehistoric times. Before the conquest of the Romans, the inhabitants of this region were already looking for gold nuggets in the river placers. But it was after the arrival of the Romans that this industry was boosted. In the Flavian period, at the beginning of the first century A.D., a first golden age was experienced. The castros (fortified settlements) resurged as a result of the exploitations and the landscape was dotted with small industries of which there are still remains such as: forges, function furnaces and samples of the technology that was used for the exploitation of the deposit.
