Rectangular building with a gable roof, masonry walls and a chimney. It’s protected as a cultural interest property.
Route 10 – Asén bridge
Single-eyed bridge, made of granite perpendant. The time of construction is unknown, although due to its characteristics it may be contemporary with the tannery of Asén, from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It gives access to the neighborhood of Casas Novas, the Granxa del Xesto and Monte Pío, following the route of the Via Crucis that goes up the slope of Pedroso.
Route 10 – dos Tres Ollos bridge
It is a stone bridge with three semicircular arches, the central one much larger than the lateral ones that served as spillways. Despite being a bridge in the shape of a mule's hill, characteristic of medieval bridges, the passage had to undergo repairs later. Even so, we embrace the small bridges of Roman origin that we have seen throughout our geography.
Where this bridge is located, there is a heritage site made up of the ruins of the tannery, an old mill, the access bridge to the factory and a fountain with a washing place. The old Bergantiños road, which crossed the Sarela at this point, reaches it from the Carballo road flanked by the good-sized plane trees, configuring, as a whole, a beautiful place.
Route 2 – Roxos river medieval Bridge (Ponte da Brea)
It is a beautiful bridge full of history and in a good state of preservation. There is a rest area nearby.
Route 2 – Sarela bridge factory ruins
<p class="western">This factory is also known as the Ribeira de Saint Lorenzo factory, dating from the eighteenth century and closed at the end of the 50s of the twentieth century. The construction is at the foot of the Camino de Fisterra and remains in ruins, although a part of it was restored in recent times and used for housing. Its size indicates the importance of the leather industry in Compostela and its ruins preserve washing places, installation of the shell mill and pipes.</p>

Route 1 – Hejduk Towers
They were designed in 1992 by architect John Hejduk as botanical towers for Compostela’s Belvís Park, but the project was ultimately scrapped. After Hejduk’s death, Peter Eisenman decided to bring back his friend and The New York Five – the group that best represents the spirit of architectural neo-rationalism – colleague’s project and proposed the towers be built in the Cidade da Cultura.
