Ruínas de San Domingos

These are Ruins of San Domingos. We donated a few euros and it was interesting, but limited info on what we were really looking at. We wished there was a tour, but we couldn't find one.

These ruins are the only surviving remains (14th-15th century) of the of the convent complex that the Dominicans built in the town, which was rescued from demolition in the late 19th century. The chevet of the church, with five apses, is exceptional in the Galician Gothic style. This complex, which was once the headquarters of the Sociedad Arqueológica de Pontevedra (Archaeological Society of Pontevedra), was the first building in the province to be declared a National Monument (1895). It is the oldest of the six buildings that make up the Museum of Pontevedra.

Free to get in. It's half a baroque church in the city centre. It was the last site we visited so we were weary. Maybe we missed the significance but coming from Wales it seemed to be just another old building

PonteVedra Spain. A gentle city, great underground parking. Beautiful small churches, The town dressed for the holidays. An opera singer on the square accompanied by professional musicians. Bravo. I would like to spend a week.

Worth visiting when passing by, impressive historic building in the town

Nice to stop by and adore the ruins. It kind of feel eclectic but cool.

Awesome quick stop. Underwhelming destination.
