The Monastery of San Salvador de Celanova is the most important building in a well-preserved historical center.

In the garden of the monastery can be found the pre-Romanesque chapel of San Miguel, one of the oldest in Spain.

One of these mansions was the birthplace of the great poet of the Galician Rexurdimento (Rebirth), Manuel Curros Enríquez.

A few kilometres from the town lies the village of Vilanova dos Infantes with a medieval tower from the 14th century.

Close to this perfectly restored village is the sanctuary of La Virgen del Cristal, in which can be seen a strange transparent stone, perhaps a meteorite, containing what some believe to be the image of the Virgin Mary.
