Seurri facts for kids

The Seurri were an old Celtic tribe that lived a long time ago in a place called Gallaecia. This area is now part of modern Galicia, specifically in the central-eastern part, near the county of Sarria. They were one of many groups of people who lived in the Iberian Peninsula before the Romans arrived.

Life in Ancient Gallaecia

The Seurri, like other Celtic tribes in Gallaecia, lived in small communities. They often built their homes in fortified villages called castros. These villages were usually on hills, making them easy to defend. People in these tribes were often farmers, growing crops and raising animals. They also knew how to work with metal, making tools and weapons.

Gallaecia was a large region in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. It was named after the Gallaeci people, who were a group of Celtic tribes. This area was known for its green landscapes and many rivers. The Seurri were just one of the many tribes that made up the rich culture of ancient Gallaecia.
