Castelo do Castro (Castro Castle)

I finally visited the Castro Castle and explored most of it. The castle was built in 1665 by the Portuguese to protect the city from attacks by the British and other enemies.

Location: 
Paseo Rosalía de Castro, 5, 36203 Vigo, Pontevedra

Most of the statues in the castle did not have a description; to me, this statue is a snapshot of Mary caring for Jesus
This is the view of the inside of the castle near the north gate; the cross hints to religion that dominated the area
