According to a legend, it was Teucro himself, hero of the Iliad, who founded the city of Pontevedra.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In medieval times, under the reign of<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">&nbsp;Ferdinand II<\/span>, the bridge was rebuilt to its present appearance (the Ponte de O Burgo). In the same period, in the city were made important works of construction and maintenance of the roads and bridges, in view of the increasing growth that the city was experiencing.<\/p><div class=\"thumb tleft\"><div class=\"thumbinner\"><div class=\"thumbcaption\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28502 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/unnamed-min.jpg\" alt=\"pontevedra\" width=\"512\" height=\"320\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The city of Pontevedra experienced its period of greatest growth and prosperity under<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">&nbsp;King Henry IV<\/span>, when the city walls were enlarged due to the increase in population and thanks to the establishment of the&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Feira Franca<\/span>&nbsp;(a feast still celebrated on the first weekend of September), which at the time lasted 60 days. Pontevedra grew to become&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">the most important city in all of Galicia,<\/span>&nbsp;mainly due to its&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">port<\/span>. &nbsp;Unfortunately, this condition was destined to come to an end (towards the end of the 16th century), both because of the abandonment by the Crown of Castile and the silting up of the port.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A new chapter was written however in the 19th century. In fact, in&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">1833<\/span>&nbsp;when the provinces were constituted, Pontevedra&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">was named capital town for its historical-monumental importance<\/span>. During the civil war of 1936-39, there was a period of internal struggles that led to a shift of attention to the city of Vigo, especially from the point of view of its role as an industrial center.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d73c6c8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d73c6c8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6749323\" data-id=\"6749323\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca380ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"ca380ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"131031\" class=\"elementor elementor-131031\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3d2d723a elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3d2d723a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7ea154ff\" data-id=\"7ea154ff\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2d451f13 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2d451f13\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-229db094\" data-id=\"229db094\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78515af2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"78515af2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO PRACTICAL GUIDE<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bc84fe5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5bc84fe5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">FREE DOWNLOAD<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2204a581 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2204a581\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Subscribe to our newsletter and receive our FREE Practical Guide to the Camino de Santiago.

<strong>historic center of Pontevedra, was declared Historical-Artistic Joint in 1951<\/strong> and it is no coincidence that it is among the best preserved in the whole Galician region. The facades of the historic center, where stone and granite prevail, take us back to a medieval past of prosperity and wealth.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the many squares we find a hectic life, people sitting outside at the bars and the streets of the center that at any hour are full of families enjoying a relaxing walk. Almost all the historical center of Pontevedra is in fact closed to traffic, pedestrians are the real protagonists in the streets of the center and this has a positive effect on urban life. A special care for the gardens of the <em>Herreria<\/em> or <em>Alameda Squares<\/em> allows us to get lost among the flowers and plants, while staying in the city.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Now let&#8217;s discover some of the monuments that you can&#8217;t miss during your visit to Pontevedra.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-16th-century-Basilica-of-Santa-Maria-la-Major\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The 16th century Bas\u00edlica of Santa Mar\u00eda la Major,<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An asset of cultural interest, was <strong>declared a Historical Artistic Monument in 1931<\/strong> and stands on the ruins of an ancient Romanesque church. This church represents one of the most important examples of the <strong>Gothic style in Galicia<\/strong>, with elements of the Manueline style. Interesting are some elements on the facade, such as the figure of Christopher Columbus, or the Christ of Good Travel, to whom the sailors dedicated their prayers before leaving for the sea.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28505 \" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Gris-Hashtag-Plano-Cafe-Publicacion-de-Facebook-4-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"553\" height=\"464\" \/><\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-church-of-the-Pilgrim-Virgin\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The church of the Pilgrim Virgin<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Right along the Portuguese Way, when you arrive in the city, you will find this chapel whose plant is shaped like a scallop shell. Begun in 1778, this monument in honor of the Virgin, which <strong>protects pilgrims on their way from Bayona to Santiago,<\/strong> was declared a <strong>Historical-Artistic Monument in 1982 and an Asset of Cultural Interest in 2011.<\/strong> Inside we find the image of the <strong>Pilgrim Virgin, patron saint of the province of Pontevedra and the Portuguese Way.<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Right in front of this church, you will find a statue that might intrigue you. It is in fact the parrot <strong>Ravachol<\/strong>, considered probably one of the most famous parrots in the world. Still today we celebrate a feast in its honor every year during the carnival! This parrot, which lived between 1891 and 1913, was the faithful companion of the pharmacist Perfecto Feijoo, and was so loved by the citizens of Pontevedra that a <strong>public funeral and a statue<\/strong> were dedicated to him.<\/p><h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28508 \" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Gris-Hashtag-Plano-Cafe-Publicacion-de-Facebook-3-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"461\" \/><\/span><\/h3><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-2\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-Ruins-of-Santo-Domingo\"><\/span>The Ruins of Santo Domingo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A splendid example of the purest Gothic in Galicia, today we can only see the remains of the ancient 14th century <strong>Convent of Santo Domingo<\/strong>, which was declared a <strong>National Monument in 1889<\/strong>.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Church-of-San-Francesco\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Church of San Francesco<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This very central building, part of the <strong>Convent of San Francesco<\/strong>, has undergone several changes over the centuries.
