Pazo do Picón, Historic mansion in Arca, Spain

The Pazo do Picón stands as a U-shaped granite structure with slate masonry walls, covering an area of 500 square meters near O Pedrouzo.

Inés Varela Vaamonde commissioned the construction of this Baroque mansion in 1699, establishing it as a residence for noble families in Galicia.

The mansion features an oval-shaped coat of arms divided into four panels on its robust tower, representing the architectural traditions of Galician nobility.

The private property requires advance arrangements for visits and stands along the French Way section of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route.

The mansion's French-inspired boxwood maze, spanning 6,000 square meters, represents one of the earliest landscape gardens in Galicia.
