Ribadavia is a town and municipality located in the southwest of the province of Ourense, in the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain.

Near the Campo da Feira, one can find the ruins of the castle of the Sarmientos, the Counts of Ribadavia, dating from the fifteenth century.

Inside the old quarter (casco vello/Barrio Xudeu), one can visit the main square (Praza Maior) with interesting buildings like the sixteenth-century town hall.

There are also buildings remaining from what was once a large Jewish quarter, including a synagogue.

All the economic life of the comarca of the Ribeiro has centered on, since the twelfth century, the vines first brought by the monks of Cluny who accompanied the first count of Galicia, Raymond of Burgundy.
