This tower with an octagonal base, an old homage tower, is the only vestige that reminds us of the existence of a fortress castle, whose origins date back to the 11th century, although this element dates from the 15th. Its silhouette dominates Vilalba, capital of the region known as Terra Chá. It is known that the old castle, successively remodeled from its origin, already had three towers and a polygonal wall in the 13th century. It belonged to the lords of Lemos, but later King Pedro I donated it to Fernán Pérez de Andrade or Boo, thus passing it to the heritage of this noble family, which will leave its heraldic symbols in the construction, such as the stone representation of the boar .

Church of San Xoán de Alba

Highlight • Religious Site

Via Sano Xoan de Alba, the 30º stage of the Camino Norte de Santiago, which connects Vilalba with Baamonde, runs.

It highlights the sua parish church, renovated in the seventeenth century and its neo-Gothic ceminteria that presents the characteristic pinnacles, a widespread fashion and which the stonemasons of terra Chá preserved since the sixteenth century. The church has an exempt portico and several transepts in the area.

Break at Rio de Parga

At the river you can sit in the shade of the trees and take a break. You have a great view of an old stone bridge and can explore the nearby chapel.

San Alberte Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Santo Alberte Bridge, also known as Ponte de San Alberte, is a medieval gem located in the municipality of Guitiriz (Lugo), over the Parga River, in the heart of the Terras do Miño Biosphere Reserve.
Although believed to have Roman origins, the current structure is Gothic in style, built in the 14th century and renovated in the 18th century and again in 2006.
