Guide of Ribadavia |
|
We
start our journey in the centre of Ribadavia. The Palace of the
Counts, the clock tower and the grand entrances epitomise the town’s
urban generation and the splendour of the sixteenth century.
From here we can start an itinerary that includes the eight churches,
four parishes and rest of the neighbourhood.
We start with Magdalene’s square and the cosy buildings that
surround it.
There are also the romantic temples of Santiago and San Juan and
the House of the Inquisition, with a singular Galician Celtic symbol
on its front.

Straight
from the walled town we can enjoy the beautiful sights from above
the River Avia, the view being most privileged from the St Francis’s
bridge, from where rises the Franciscan convent of San Antonio.
Joining the city walls, we can find the castle of |
|
|
Sarmiento
and next to it the Gothic convent of Santo Domingo.
We
can then enjoy a nice glass of wine in the town’s confectionary,
whose taste is improved by the beautiful surroundings of this historic
town.
To know Ribadavia intimately with details of both the town and its
wines, you can participate in a guided tour organised by the tourist
information office of Ribadavia, situated in the town square. |
