Historic buildings in Corvillón

The Igrexa de Santa María de Corvillón in Corvillón is an 18th-century Baroque church with alterations made in the 20th century. Also in Corvillón is the Antiga escola de Corvillón, a two-storey building that was constructed as a school in the 20th century. Together, the two buildings show how different historical periods stand side by side in the village.

The Palco da música de Corvillón complements this picture with a small, octagonal bandstand made of granite masonry and featuring a stone balustrade. Alongside the Baroque church's religious architecture, it represents a smaller, clearly shaped structure made of stone material characteristic of the region.

The Pombal de Corvillón

The Pombal de Corvillón is particularly rich in detail: the dovecote has a circular floor plan and plastered, whitewashed masonry made of granite rubble. On the east side there is a small entrance with a door featuring a straight lintel.

The Pombal de Corvillón has lost its former conical roof; its interior is completely overgrown with vegetation. These two features shape its architectural impression just as much as the surviving basic form. Anyone interested in traditional building forms and visible changes will find here a specific example within the history of the village.

This distinction is especially helpful for people travelling together, as it allows the accommodation decision to be aligned with their desired interests.
