Palace of o Picón

Monument · O Pino, Arzúa, A Coruña

A Baroque manor house from the 17th century located at do Picón, in the parish of Arca (O Pino, A Coruña), also known as the pazo de San Fernando do Picón. Built of granite ashlar and whitewashed rubble masonry, it has an open U shape with a total area of about 500 square metres, arranged around two courtyards: a larger one, to the south-west, which served as a carriage yard, and a smaller one, to the north-east, with a solaina (covered gallery) and outside stairway, whose lintel bears the carved date 1699, marking the completion of the building. Beside the entrance path stand a two-storey hórreo (raised granary) and a circular dovecote. It remains in good condition and in private hands, a short distance from the Camino Francés.
