オウレンセ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Ourense's Plaza Mayor is one of the most emblematic spaces in the historic center: It's a porticoed square with a slight incline, making it unique in Galicia. The slope is used to create a very photogenic perspective. Since the Middle Ages, it has been the city's administrative and social center. Markets, public events, and neighborhood meetings were held here. Notable buildings: City Hall: a 19th-century neoclassical building with an elegant façade and balconies. Palaces and noble houses: several properties with heraldic shields and typical Galician galleries.

Located on the banks of the Miño River, in the Outariz area, west of Ourense, right on the city's "Thermal Promenade." Parking: The Outariz/Reza parking lot (on the opposite bank) is available, as the Muiño da Veiga parking lot is closed for renovations. Public transport: City bus line 5; the unique Thermal Train, which stops at the facility.

The Monastery of Santa María la Real de Oseira is located in the parish of Oseira (municipality of San Cristovo de Cea, Ourense), about 34 km from the city of Ourense and near the borders with Pontevedra and Lugo. Founded in 1137 by a group of hermits, it joined the Cistercian Order of Clairvaux in 1141. During the 12th and early 13th centuries, its main church was built, becoming one of the largest Cistercian monasteries in Spain. In 1552, a fire devastated the complex, but the church survived and retains an elegant, understated architectural style.

It spans the Miño River, linking the historic center of Ourense with the A Ponte neighborhood. It was built in the 1st century AD as a branch of the Via Nova (Via XVIII), connecting Bracara Augusta (Braga) with Asturica Augusta (Astorga). Only traces of the original Roman phase remain, such as rusticated stonework at the ends near the banks. It suffered damage during the Middle Ages; in 1228, under Bishop Lorenzo and with the support of Ferdinand III, it was rebuilt with pointed arches and renovated approaches. Until the 17th century, the bridge repeatedly collapsed. The final work was directed by Melchor de Velasco Agüero around 1660, establishing its current appearance.

An excellent place to end the tour, as we can always get a hot shower.

Hello, I would like to do this trail but I would like to know if you make stops among the points where you took photos and to know how many minutes you stayed at the points. Thank you for your feedback 😊

It is a magnificent example of rural Galician Romanesque architecture. The original building is from the 12th century, and preserves carvings from the 16th century and baroque altarpieces from the 18th century. The entrance to the cloister has a Romanesque doorway with lobed arches and a magnificent sculptural pantheon. The economic power of the monks of the Sil reached a notable splendour in the 12th century, when they received royal privileges and papal protection to expand the monasteries and sanctuaries on both banks of the Sil, a territory with a strong historical and cultural personality, called Rivoyra Sacrata at that time and known since then as Ribeira Sacra.
