Monastery of A Visitación das Salesas Reais, Vigo

The granite structure features unpolished stones from local quarries and external buttresses, creating strong architectural lines throughout the building complex.

Architect Antonio Palacios Ramilo designed this religious institution in 1942, incorporating elements from Galician medieval architecture into its construction.

The monastery follows specific cloistered traditions of the Visitation order while maintaining regular religious ceremonies and spiritual gatherings for the community.

Located at coordinates 42°14'35.7"N and 8°42'17.2"W, the monastery stands near Sanjurjo Badía Street in the Teis neighborhood of Vigo.

Despite initial plans for multiple pavilions around a central courtyard, only the first pavilion and the church, consecrated in 1945, were constructed.
