A Pobra de Trives

A Pobra de Trives is a municipality in northeastern Ourense province in Galicia, covering a hilly area at about 746 meters (2,448 feet) elevation. The territory encompasses several settlements and parishes spread across rural landscape.

The municipality took on its current administrative structure following Spain's 1978 Constitution, which created the autonomous communities system. This reorganization established the modern boundaries that define the area today.

The place is divided into several parishes including San Xoán, San Nicolao, and Santiago, following traditional Galician territorial organization. This structure shapes how communities here connect with one another and identify as part of a broader administrative network.

The town hall (Casa do Concello) serves as the central location for administrative matters and can provide information to visitors and residents. For practical guidance on local services or municipal affairs, this building is a good first stop.

The area functions as the hub of the Terra de Trives region, managing local affairs for several small villages including Cova and Cotarós. This decentralized structure allows traditional village communities to maintain their individual character while accessing broader administrative services.
