Lalín

Lalín is a municipality in Pontevedra Province that spreads across terrain in the northeastern region and serves as an administrative hub. The town brings together various neighborhoods and provides schools, medical services, and government offices for residents.

The area was inhabited in pre-Roman times, as shown by ancient forts like Castro de Doade that still stand today. These archaeological remains reveal that settlement and trade existed here for centuries before modern times.

The Ramon María Aller Ulloa Museum displays astronomical instruments and art collections as the main cultural venue. The space shows how this community has valued science and creativity over time.
