Castelo de San Antón

Displaying weapons, uniforms, maps and so on.

Built late 12th century in Romanesque style, much modified down the years.

In 1589 the English launched a counter-Armada against the weakened Spanish, and on 4 May stormed ashore and captured the lower town. They laid siege to the upper town for 14 days but were repulsed by poorly-armed and untrained townsfolk, notably Maria Pita. The English sailed on into Portugal, hoping to stir an uprising against the Spanish, but the expedition was a calamitous failure. This museum stands on the site of Pita's house; signage is only in Galician.

Spanish art from the 19th century, including etchings by Goya.

Small child-oriented science museum about human perception, little English signage. The building is supposed to resemble a sail.

Small science museum with planetarium in a park pavilion.
