Autor: Fátima Matos da Silva

In this paper we clarify some considerations about the enhancement of archaeological heritage of the hillforts or castrosfrom the castreja culture of the Iron Age, located in the northwest of the IberianPeninsula (north of Portugal and Galicia). Some ideas and reflexions, regarding the aspects considered relevant at the time of elaborating enhancement projects for this kind of heritage are included, with the aim of improving its sustainability and capacity of being of interest for both public and cultural or archaeological tourism. In this sense, we sum the results obtained in the rehabilitation projects for some of the hillforts that are located in the north of Portugal and some bath-sauna with oven. The Pedra Formosa (beautiful stone) of these hillforts are also briefly mentioned. Finally, we present some possible archaeological tourism routes.
