Iria Flavia, Ancient parish near Padrón, Spain
The parish sits at the confluence of the Sar and Ulla rivers, featuring the Santa María de Iria Flavia Collegiate Church with Gothic architectural elements.
Romans established the settlement as a port city in the first century, naming it Iria Flavia in honor of Emperor Vespasian's Flavian dynasty.
The Nobel Prize winner Camilo José Cela Foundation occupies former canon residences next to the church, maintaining literary collections and research materials.
