A small baroque chapel with a small stone image of the Virgin Mary embedded in its façade. It's the former chapel of the cloistered convent of the Emparedadas. At present, the Day of the Nazarene (first Friday of March) is very much visited to ask for the three graces.

Your first port of call before exploring the old town is the Tourist Information Office, itself in a historic building, where a map is available plus lots of information from the staff. This is a fascinating town to explore on foot, but beware of cars driving down the narrow alleys. You will find churches such as the Basilica de Santa Maria and the Iglesia de San Bartolome, former grand houses such as Pazo del Baron, informal squares with restaurants, bars, statues and fountains, plus the town's theatre which, although relatively modern, is designed to blend in with the town's architecture.

Back in the day, this square was used to trade firewood. Nowadays is one of the hot spots for trendy bistros yet, not hyper hipster. You’ll need to park a few blocks away since this area of Pontevedra is pro pedestrians. The square is full of tables from six different small restaurants.
5. Puente del Burgo
6. Pazo de Mugartegui
7. Pazo de Lourizan
8. Plaza de la Herreria
