Went to the top with my girlfriend, 3 guys were at the top just hanging out and all looked questionable. One teen with a dog, and two adults. Possibly drinking. They were staring at my girlfriend, we were completely alone and isolated at the top, no one else about. We left as we felt uncomfortable and afraid. On the way down a police officer was on his way up, that says something when the police patrol the area. Not an area for females or people by themselves as the area is quite isolated and you can't be seen from the path below. The turrents (?) at the corners were being used as toilets, just stay away,...

El castillo se levantó al mismo tiempo que la villa se comenzaba a amurallar en 1656 durante el reinado en España de Felipe IV con el objetivo de proteger a Vigo de los ataques de ingleses y portugueses. Cuando Portugal entró en guerra por la independencia de España, Galicia pasó de pueblo hermano a enemigo.[1]​

En el lugar en donde se levanta el castillo había una ermita dedicada a San Sebastián, y la nueva muralla cerraría hasta dicha capilla, donde además se levantaría un fuerte. Desde el castillo el muro iba hasta la Puerta del Sol, bajando por la calle Carral hasta el muelle de A Laxe, siguiendo por Beiramar hasta el Berbés y subiendo de nuevo por la calle Real hasta la ermita. Juan de Villarroel y Prado fue quien proyectó los trabajos tanto del castillo de San Sebastián como de la Fortaleza del Castro, situada a unos cientos de metros monte arriba. En 1665 Portugal sitió la villa durante seis días; fue cuando los ingenieros militares Carlos y Fernando de Grunemberg unieron las dos fortificaciones con un muro, que en 1667 estaría acabado. Aunque tanto los castillos como la muralla se construyeron muy deprisa y con pocos medios. La muralla no tenía foso y los muros no eran consistentes, ni revellínes. En 1719 los ingleses invaden Vigo y el castillo quedó en ruinas pasando a utilizarse como espacio para el ganado, defendiéndose luego la villa desde la Fortaleza del Castro. habiéndose encontrado pasadizos y túneles que unían las dos edificaciones defensivas entre sí y...

Fantastic views of the city, harbour and bay.

I recommend to climb up here on your first day in Vigo to get a great glimpse of the wider picture of Vigo.

It's right behind the Council Hall which provides the easiest access. However, if you like to walk hilly streets I highly recommend to go up using the very old steep streets go up the fort from the old town or from the Oliveira Square.

Last tip, go on a bright day, preferably after rain to get...

A must do if you’re around. The climb is accessible and the views of the bay are stunning. If you don’t feel like walking up, take a taxi or an Uber ride to the top. The reward is the lovely garden located on top of the old castle. We saw a few people enjoying a picnic over there which is a grand idea.

Great exercise running up all these steps. Unfortunately on today that I visited, I could not see far due to fog. Old castle monuments and good places to stop for photos.
