Why Go
Domingo de Andrade's baroque staircase twists in three separate spirals within one stone tower. The museum covers Galician fishing, farming, crafts and music, and the church holds the Pantheon of Illustrious Galicians, with the tomb of the poet Rosalía de Castro. The old convent gardens behind are now a quiet park.
