Built between the 14th and 17th centuries, the Convento de Santo Domingo de Bonaval now houses the Museo do Pobo Galego, dedicated to all things Galician past and present. Withstanding the exhibitions, the convent itself is attractive enough to warrant a peek. With models and various relics, the museum space delves into the fishing and shipbuilding industry in the region, the gaiti –a smaller version of Scottish bagpipes–and those traditional round houses with thatched roofs that look straight out of a Smurf’s cartoon. There is also a pantheon with the remains of notable Gallegos.
