Heritage with unusual details

Skulls, depictions of animals and bones can be seen at the base of the Cruceiro de Visantoña. The Pazo de Vilar de Ferreiros is located in the village of Vilar de Ferreiros, in the parish of Visantoña. The pazo is first mentioned in a will dating from 1485. The castros also add a historical dimension to a visit: the Castro de Vilar de Ferreiros preserves part of its defensive ditch and defensive rampart in good condition, while the Castro de Seoane preserves part of its outer defensive wall.

The Mámoas do Ribeiro are a group of prehistoric structures on a hill above the valley. In Seoane, the Igrexa de San Xoán de Visantoña stands at the centre of the settlement. Another cultural feature is the Banda de Música de Visantoña: it was founded in 1877 at the Pazo de Vilar de Ferreiros in Visantoña, has developed with almost no interruptions and is considered the oldest Galician marching band. San Agustín is celebrated in Visantoña on 28 and 29 August.
