The monastery of Santo Estevo de Ribas de Sil is one of the most outstanding and spectacular complexes of the rich monumental heritage of Galicia. It was built between the 12th and 18th centuries. This monastery was important, because nine bishops retired to it and renounced their episcopal sees and chose the monastery to end their days throughout the 10th century and perhaps part of the 11th. The monastery kept his remains and as a souvenir it carried the nine miters on its shield. The church has a basilica plan, spacious and proportioned. It preserves the Romanesque apse with three apses, the central one being lower than the lateral ones, an unusual case in Galician Romanesque. The façade of the church is from the end of the 16th century or beginning of the 17th century. At the top there is a simple oculus that gives light to the interior and ends in a niche inside which is the image of Saint Stephen.

This recent viewpoint has become a new focus of visitor attraction in Ribeira Sacra. A swing (bambán in Galician) from which you can see one of the most beautiful sunsets (solpor in Galician) in Ribeira Sacra.

Mirador da Pedra Longa, a majestic rock formation in the shape of a vertical monolith whose height exceeds 7 meters and is made up of just one piece of stone. Rain and wind have been responsible for sculpting this wonderful work of art for millions of years. It is accompanied by the special background that the valley and the Sil canyon give it. From here you will see a good stretch of the Sil River, from Pombeiro (Pantón) to the mouth of the Cabe River, in A Barca. Also in the distance you will appreciate the high and vertical slopes of the canyon in Sober, in the parishes of Belmonte or Santiorxo.

Along the Sil River Canyon as it passes through the Ribeira Sacra there is a wide network of viewpoints on both banks. Beautiful views.

Of medieval origins, this monastery is one of the most outstanding and spectacular in Galicia. Located on the left bank of the River Sil, the temple is made up of three cloisters, the monastic buildings and the church. It stands out for its large Baroque façade, although the complex also has elements of the Romanesque and Renaissance styles.

Beautiful waterfall hidden in the forest, a few meters from the Sil river.
