Catedral de Ourense

Reviewed By C8152GYvincentv - Lasne, Belgium

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!

Claustro de San Francisco

Reviewed By LoopyLouRTW - Barcelona, Spain

Would highly recommend visiting these cloisters. Our guide was Constantino who told us the history behind the cloisters. He was very interesting, enthusiastic & knowledgeable about the cloisters & the history of Galicia. We arrived 20 minutes before the cloisters were due to close for siesta, however Constantino gave up 20 minutes of his lunch break to talk to us & share the history of the cloisters. Entry is free & is highly recommended.
