Pazo de Antequeira beech

Nature · Rois, Sar, A Coruña

In the garden of the pazo de Antequeira, at the place of Antequeira, parish of Oín, municipality of Rois, among other species grows the centuries-old beech which, according to the concello itself, is the largest in Galicia. The pazo, erected in the 16th century and transformed in Baroque style in the 18th, belonged to the counts of San Xoán; notable features include its balustraded staircase on the main façade and its Compostela Baroque chapel dedicated to San Xoán Nepomuceno, with a relief of the saint on the doorway restored at the end of the 20th century. The complex also has a dovecote, a hórreo and a Baroque fountain.
