Caldas de Reis

Iglesia Santo Tomás Becket

This church built at the end of the 19th century is the only one that venerates St. Thomas Becket in the entire Galician community. This English saint became a martyr when he was murdered in his own cathedral, at the hands of the subjects of King Henry II. For its construction were used remains of stones from the old tower of Doña Urraca.

Puente Segade

The Segade Bridge built by a single arch presents a Roman style of the first century. Through it ran the road that, in another era, communicated Tui with Caldas. In 1729 this bridge underwent a thorough reconstruction thanks to the local priest. That date is inscribed on the cross, located at the foot of the bridge at the time of its remodeling but was later moved to the church of San Andrés.

Puente Bermaña

The Bermaña Bridge was built in the first century, is of Roman origin and is located on the route of the Jacobean route so that all pilgrims who make the Portuguese Way pass through it.

This bridge, composed of three semicircular arches, was formerly part of an old militia path from Roman times. Its construction, made of ashlar, presents in its central part a railing and a crossing dating from the seventeenth century.

Parque Jardín Botánico y Carballeira

The Botanical Garden of Caldas de Reis enjoys a great importance since the sixties for which it was cataloged Picturesque Site and Historical Garden.

La Fuente de las Burgas

The Fuente de las Burgas was built in 1881 with a neoclassical style ornamentation, which stands out for its mineral-medicinal properties. It is a cano fountain formed by two conduits decorated with the head of a lion, which are located at the exit of the spring with a lower level to achieve a higher pressure.

Iglesia de Santo André de César

The church of Santo André de César is a temple of Romanesque origin, later restored so that currently presents baroque style, being the apse of the temple the only architectural element that remains of the primitive Romanesque style.

It is a semi-dambor apse built in ashlar and supported by four columns with headers where there are historiated corbels.

Iglesia de Santa María de Bemil

The church of Santa María de Bemil is a temple of Romanesque origin, from which period only the rose window on the western façade, a branch of the south wall and the apse can still be seen today.

The walls of the same, later built, retain the Romanesque corbels. It should be noted that the bell tower was built in the Baroque period.

Iglesia de Santa María

The church of Santa Maria is a temple of Romanesque origin that underwent many alterations and extensions. The most outstanding features of this church are its two doorways, the most striking of which consists of two semicircular archivolts and a tympanum, supported by two double columns. In this tympanum we can appreciate the relief of a lamb, holding with one of its legs the Agnus Dei, very common in Galician Romanesque churches. Regarding the western door of the church, it is protected by a modern portico which, in turn, supports the baroque bell tower.
