To learn more

The Casa do Concello of Portomarín represents the civil power and institutional organization of this Lucense town. Its current location, in the new urban center built after the creation of the Belesar reservoir in the 1960s, reflects the process of relocation and reconstruction that the town underwent to preserve its architectural and heritage identity.

This building, with sober and functional lines, harmonizes with the traditional Galician style through the use of local materials such as granite. Its facade features classic elements of institutional architecture, such as the municipal coat of arms, wrought iron balconies, and a symmetrical layout that reinforces its representative character.

Beyond its architectural value, it is a symbol of the historical continuity of Portomarín, safeguarding administrative functions, archives, and activities that consolidate the memory and present of the community. It is part of the contemporary heritage of the town, in dialogue with other historical elements.
