History

It is located in the heart of Terra Chá. There are several small lakes in this area, the best known of which is the Lake of Cospeito. The surrounding wetland is populated by ducks, herons, lapwings and other species.

A pre-Roman hill fort which is known as O Torrillón can still be recognized in Támoga. A nearby castle was destroyed during the Irmandiño uprising.

The ruins of the Tower of Caldaloba (15th century), in the village of Pino, is one of its major monuments.

In this municipality, the German army was allowed to install during the Second World War three radionavigation antennas, 112 metres high with the aim of facilitating the positioning and follow-up of submarines (U-Boots) and aeroplanes in the Bay of Biscay.

Monuments

Además en el lugar de Arneiro se encuentran las Torres de Arneiro, antenas instaladas por el ejército alemán en Galicia poco antes del inicio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial para control del océano Atlántico. Si bien los ejércitos aliados conocían la existencia y ubicación de las torres, no las destruyeron debido a que también hacían uso de las mismas.

Después de la guerra siguieron siendo de uso militar hasta el año 1962. A partir de este año pasaron a manos de la Autoridad de Aviación Civil hasta el año 1971, cuando fueron abandonadas.

Actualmente estas antenas ya no existen porque no pudieron soportar el paso del ciclón extratropical Klaus (2009).
