Murales de la Central Hidroeléctrica

This is a set of murals by Joaquín Vaquero Palacios and his son Joaquín Vaquero Turcios. Some of the representations can be seen on the main facade of the gallery, which shows the process of electric energy production.

Ermita de Pedreira

This hermitage was erected in the late seventeenth century, specifically in 1689, in order to accommodate pilgrims who were making the Primitive Way to Santiago de Compostela and who had contracted leprosy. Today, the hermitage still preserves the evocation of the ancient malatería de San Lázaro.

Colegiata de El Salvador

It is a temple dating from the twelfth century and which underwent numerous reforms and later additions in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Because of these continuous reforms, only the doorway and the gargoyles of the baptismal font are preserved from the original Romanesque.

Casa Magadán

This house, also known by the name of Don Lope or Casa de los Suárez, is located in the place of Santa María. The original building dates back to 1550, being inhabited at this time by Lope Alonso Magadán I, mayor of the municipality and attorney general for several years, accompanied by his son Gregorio Alonso Magadán.

Capilla del Carmen de Grandas

This chapel dates back to the eighteenth century and is located exactly at the foot of the Primitive Way, specifically as it passes through the Grandas de Salime to A Fonsagrada section. This temple is closely linked to the Casa de Linera, a typical house of the Galician nobility.
