Ribadeo Old Town & Torre dos Moreno
Torre dos Moreno
A modernist tower beside Ribadeo's Plaza de España, with a striking colored-tile dome. The surrounding old streets have many mansions built by “indianos,” Galicians who returned from the Americas.
The Torre dos Moreno was built in 1915 by the Moreno brothers, who returned from Argentina after getting rich there. It is a landmark of Galician modernist architecture and is currently not open to the public inside. Opposite the square stands the 18th-century Palacio de Ibáñez, which houses the town hall. Toward the harbour are stone-paved old streets and the wharf. The old town is small, and a half-day walk covers it. Seafood restaurants are concentrated around the harbour.
