Os Tilos, Teo, Parish in Teo, Spain.
Os Tilos (officially San Francisco de Asís dos Tilos) is a parish and residential development in the northwest of Teo municipality, A Coruña province. It comprises two population entities, Os Tilos and Parque Montouto, and in 2024 had 2,358 inhabitants (1,136 men and 1,222 women).
The parish was officially established through an archbishop decree in August 1990 following a new residential development near Santiago de Compostela. This creation marked the official recognition of a growing population center in the municipality.
The parish takes its name from San Francisco de Asís, to whom the church is dedicated, and locals distinguish the parish (San Francisco de Asís dos Tilos) from the residential development (Urbanización Os Tilos) that grew beside it. The two population entities listed within the parish are Os Tilos and Parque Montouto.
Os Tilos lies in the northwest of Teo municipality, on the road toward Santiago de Compostela. The parish covers two population entities, Os Tilos and Parque Montouto, and the urbanización is its built-up core. The archbishopric decree of 6 August 1990 set the parish boundaries, so orientation follows the residential streets rather than an old village centre.
Os Tilos is the newest of Teo's parishes, created in 1993 because of the population growth brought by the Urbanización Os Tilos near Santiago de Compostela. The ecclesiastical parish itself had been set up earlier, by a decree of the archbishopric of Santiago dated 6 August 1990. Being so recent, it does not appear in the 2003 Nomenclátor de Galicia.
