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.

They are located in the historic center of Ourense, on Rúa das Burgas / Praza das Burgas, next to the Barbaña River. They are perfectly integrated into the urban environment, near the Cathedral and the Roman Bridge. Explored since Roman times, these waters were the origin of the city (Aquis Auriensis), and the remains include a 1st-century AD pool-sanctuary and votive stones dedicated to an indigenous deity. The water flows at approximately 64–68°C, with a flow rate of about 300 liters per minute. Rich in minerals such as metasilicates, fluoride, lithium, bicarbonate, and sodium, they are recommended for pruritic skin conditions and rheumatism. Recent studies support their beneficial effect on acne after washing with thermal water.

The Plaza Mayor of Ourense is one of the most emblematic places in the city. Located in the heart of the historic centre, this square stands out for its sloping floor, a rare feature among the main squares of Europe. The square is surrounded by historic buildings, including the Town Hall, a 19th-century work by Queralt with a classicist façade.

Ourense Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Saint Martin, is one of the most important monuments in the city. Built between the 12th and 13th centuries, it is a magnificent example of Romanesque architecture with Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical elements added later.⛪
