Old town of Pontevedra
Old town of Pontevedra, Historic district in Pontevedra, Spain
The old town of Pontevedra contains numerous arcaded streets that connect to squares named after their historical functions, including A Ferrería and A Leña.
The historic center received its town status in 1169 from King Ferdinand II of León, leading to the construction of fortified walls with three parallel streets.
The Basilica of Santa María A Maior, built in the 15th century by the Guild of Fishermen, displays a Plateresque façade and represents maritime heritage.
The Museum of Pontevedra, spread across multiple buildings in the old town, offers free guided tours from Tuesday to Sunday with archaeological exhibits.
The Sanctuary of A Peregrina features a ground plan shaped like a scallop shell and marks a stop on the Portuguese route to Santiago de Compostela.
