Castriño de Conxo is an archaeological site located in the municipality of Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain. It consists of an Iron Age fort hill (castro) and a series of petroglyphs. Nowadays is in a complete state of abandonment, so it's not easy to visit, since it is covered with vegetation and trees. The area is divided by a fence, leaving a large part of the site in private property. In May 2019 it suffered an act of vandalism when an unidentified person scratched it, marking the grooves of the petroglyph with a stone. References
