The 'Pazo' is a traditional type of noble residence unique to the Galicia region of Spain.
The estate underwent significant restoration by the Ames City Council to convert the private grounds into a public space.
The name 'Peregrina' (Pilgrim) is common in this region due to its proximity to the pilgrimage routes leading to Santiago de Compostela.
The stone construction of the manor is characteristic of 18th-century Galician rural architecture.
Pazo da Peregrina is a historic manor house and public garden complex located in the town of Bertamiráns within the Ames municipality. The site features a traditional Galician stone manor building surrounded by landscaped lawns, stone pathways, and mature trees. The estate is a notable example of the pazo architectural style, which served historically as both a grand residence and a functional agricultural center for local landowners. Visitors can explore the well-maintained grounds, which offer walking paths and ornamental greenery. The gardens provide a calm green space within the suburban environment of the Ames council area. It serves as a community hub, often hosting local cultural events and public gatherings. The site is owned and managed by the local government, which maintains its grounds for public use. The architecture reflects rural Galician heritage through the use of local granite and classic decorative elements.
