| Historical-Artistic
Town of Corcubion
Corcubion
has been declared Historical-Artistic Town in 1985. The main appeal
of the village is its antiquity and noble architecture:
Altamira's Counts Manor House, built
in the XV century, although it has been modified later on. It had
an elegant court of justice room and a prison.
The harbour,
built again after being destroyed by the napoleonic troops. Its
strategic localization and security make it ideal in size for yatch
sailing.
Casa de Minones, built in 1899, it
is a mixture of Galician traditional architecture and modernist
style.
Cardinal Castle, designed by La Ferriere
in 1741, it defended the creek with 12 artillery pieces and 96 soldiers.
 San
Marcos' church, originally built in the XII century, was reformed
several times, one of the last in 1832 when a storm ruined part
of the tower.
Other important constructions are the Pilar's
Chapel, built in this century; San Antonio's Chapel,
built around 1700; San Pedro's church, of the XII century,
and the Cape of Cee, built in 1860, from where there is a
great view of the creek and of the Lobeiras' Islands, witness of
several shipwrecks.
