This was very nice, once we found it. Took the wrong trolley, ended up walking about a mile unexpectedly. Nice facilities. A light rain and we loved staying in the pool

OK, this is not Saint Paul, nor Notre Dame or the Dom. A rough gem. It's Roman after all. And why expect this in Galicia? It would be out of place. No this is exactly the Catedral which belongs to Ourense. To Galicia. Understated beauty. Color around the corner. At the portico. A nice treasure chamber. The bell tower. And of course the chapel. Legend has it that the hair grows. Some people are also convinced that it's not a sculpture at all, rather a mummified corpse,.... There is only one way to find out. Check it out yourself!
8. Monasterio de Santa Cristina
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 305 reviews
The origin of the Santa Cristina monastery is full of doubts and unknowns, different dates have been given to locate its foundation. It probably has to be placed towards the 10th century, a time when the rule of San Fructuoso followed, which would later be replaced by that of San Benito. Abbots of Santa Cristina have been known since the 10th century, later donations began to be found in their favor and, later on, royal privileges, the oldest conserved is from Fernando III de León and Castilla (1231), although there are references to other earlier ones. In the 15th century the house would begin a period of decline, with commendatory abbots, which would end in 1517 with a bull of Leo X that formalized its extinction and integration in Santo Estevo de Ribas de Sil as a simple priory. temporary and the already definitive of 1835, when the place was abandoned and ruined.

second visit to this site, ruins are interesting and some good signs, the QR code explanations did not seem to be working which is a shame. prime attraction for me was the hot spring nearby where you can lie in hot water in an open air pool, there is a separate entrance to the hot spring or you can walk from the ruins about 500m. Very relaxed, mix of people enjoying the hot water. no changing areas so bring towels and or find a nearby bush. Museum is interesting (went of a previous visit) but all in Spanish and Galician as I recall.
10. Ponte Romana
