Fine Arts Museum

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.

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

Displaying weapons, uniforms, maps and so on.

16th century castle on an island, now connected by a broad avenue. Within is a museum of castle history and weaponry.

Large indoor and outdoor aquarium.
