Briefing – Geography and Geology of Galicia

Filed under Briefing, Brigantia Espania, Geography, Geology

The region of Galicia, located in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, is a land defined by rugged coastlines, mountainous terrain, and fertile valleys. Galicia’s geography and geology have played a fundamental role in shaping both its natural environment and the ways in which ancient civilizations, such as the Gallaeci (the Celtic tribes of Galicia), interacted with their surroundings.
