Pazo de San Isidro
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in the historic cathedral town of Mondoñedo, the Pazo de San Isidro feels more like a secret garden than a museum. Its stone walls, draped in creeping vines, whisper centuries of Galician history. You don't just walk through rooms here; you wander through the legacy of the Pardo de Cela family, whose coat of arms still watches over the main courtyard. It’s a place that invites you to slow down and imagine life in a bygone era.
Collection Highlights
Beyond the family's heraldic symbols, you'll find antique farming tools that tell the story of rural life and traditional presses that hint at the region's winemaking past.
Visitor Information
Given its charm and high ratings, it's wise to check opening hours in advance as they can be seasonal. The pazo is a short stroll from Mondoñedo's magnificent cathedral, making it an easy and rewarding stop.
Architecture & Building
This is classic Galician pazó architecture—a stately, rustic stone manor house centered around a picturesque courtyard, with generous wooden balconies and a coat of arms carved above the entrance.
