Monastery of San Vicenzo de Pombeiro

In 1108, Urraca (1081–1126), widow of Raymond of Burgundy and then Countess of Galicia, granted it to the monastery of Cluny, making it a priory of this Benedictine branch. It was a monastery of relative importance within the congregation, but by the late 14th century, it was in decline, both materially and due to a relaxation of monastic discipline, particularly during the priorate of Diego Fernández. Despite its affiliation with Cluny, like other Benedictine houses, the monastery was reformed at the end of the 15th century and placed under the dependency of Santo Estevo de Ribas de Sil, at least since 1508, a situation confirmed by the Pope in 1526. Of this monastery, the Romanesque church with three naves and three apses is preserved; next to it stands the priory house, dating from the 18th century.
