The town's firewood market, known as the Eirado from the 15th century and redesigned and enlarged in the 18th. From then date the two large Baroque pazos on the east side, Castro Monteagudo, of 1760, and García Flórez, now part of the provincial museum, and the vernacular houses with arcades and wooden galleries. It has been pedestrian since 1990 and a granite crucero placed there about 1941 stands in the middle.
