Next to the Santuario de la Peregrina, which was built from 1778, in the historic center of Pontevedra, in the Plaza de la Peregrina. It was declared a historical-artistic monument in 1982 and mixes late baroque with neoclassical forms, such as its main altarpiece, erected in 1789. It is one of the most symbolic and relevant buildings in the city and is dedicated to the Virgin who, according to tradition, guided pilgrims from Baiona to Santiago.

Ponte do Burgo

Highlight • Bridge

PONTE DO BURGO. A symbol of the city and a deep-rooted myth is that of its foundation by Teucer, a Greek archer, who traveled to the West after the Trojan War to build the town. Thus, the road and the bridge are the origin of the foundation of the city. In the S. XII, under the reign of Fernando II, the city appears for the first time under its current name. Formed by eleven lowered semicircular arches, it is made of medieval ashlar masonry. Much modified by later enlargements.
