Image of Dodro, not of the place itself.

The old pazo fell into ruin and its Baroque tower was dismantled and moved to the pazo de Meirás, in Sada, one of the many transfers of seigneurial stone suffered by rural Galicia throughout the 20th century. Located in the hamlet of Vigo, within the concello of Dodro, it is believed to have been commissioned by Marcos Fandiño in the early 16th century, and was later remodelled in the Compostela Baroque style of the 17th and 18th centuries. It was the possession of the marquesses of Bendaña, a title that passed to the Piñeiro e Ulloa family, and it preserved a chapel dedicated to San Xosé and a coat of arms bearing the arms of several Galician lineages. Today it is private property, sold during the Transition, and of its former splendour scarcely more than the chapel and a few minor rooms survive.
