Fortified settlement in Santaia, Curtis, 533 m above sea level, 2.7 km from Teixeiro.

O castro de Santaia é un poboado castrexo situado no lugar de Santaia, no concello de Curtis. Está situado nunha pequena elevación natural no medio da chaira, entre prados. Ten forma case circular de 88 m x 75 m cun socalco nun nivel inferior. Os restos corresponden probablemente a un antecastro hoxe desaparecido. Hai restos dun foxo no leste. O castro ten amplas defensas nas que se abriron varios accesos. A croa emprégase como eira.
