Pazo de Santa Cruz de Ribadulla

The gardens of Pazo de Santa Cruz de Ribadulla contain extensive botanical collections, including the oldest camellias in Galicia, planted between 1780 and 1820.

During the second half of the sixteenth century, the estate was divided into three main sections: forest land, farming areas, and reserved spaces near the house.

The estate features La Coca fountain, created by Diego de Romay's workshop, displaying two intertwined dragons representing the Mondragón lineage heraldic symbol.

The property maintains both ornamental gardens and productive areas dedicated to fruit trees, camellia cultivation, and cattle breeding activities.

A path lined with 500 olive trees, each over 500 years old, stretches through the estate, forming a remarkable botanical collection.
