The region of Braga has been inhabited since prehistoric times. During the Iron Age, the Bracari, a Celtic people, settled in the area, constructing their characteristic fortified villages (castra).
Braga later became the capital of the Callaici Bracarii (Bracarenses), a tribe that occupied what is now Galicia and northern Portugal.
It has long been established that they spoke a Celtic language, as evidenced by inscriptions such as the dedication to the goddess Nabia at Braga’s Fonte do Ídolo ("Fountain of the Idol"), and the name of their town, Tongobriga (modern Marco de Canaveses).
