Pazo do Hórreo

The Pazo do Hórreo is the seat of the Parliament of Galicia located in Santiago de Compostela, featuring a rectangular structure with prominent corners. An interior courtyard facilitates circulation through the various functional areas.

The building was originally constructed in 1903 as a veterinary school and later served as military barracks. In 1989 it became the headquarters of the Parliament of Galicia.

The parliamentary hall features wooden panels and curved benches that reflect the formal nature of legislative work. These elements shape how debates and voting take place inside.

The building is located at Rua do Hórreo 63 and has restricted access as a government institution. Check ahead about opening hours and required authorization before planning a visit.

The exterior fence is made of oxidized steel and creates an optical illusion that appears opaque from most angles but becomes transparent when viewed straight on. This effect is created by the specific arrangement and material of the metalwork.
