CádavosParochial church
This church was built in the 17th-18th centuries using granite ashlars. It has a rectangular floor plan and a gabled schist roof except in the presbytery, which is hipped. Inside the church we can enjoy a painted Calvary on the main altar, a splendid gilded Baroque side altarpiece and also the decoration of the intrados of the triumphal arch that separates the nave from the presbytery. The main altarpiece and the side altarpieces date from the 18th century. The cádava (cádavo in Galician language), which gives the parish its name, is the dried trunk of the burnt gorse tree.
Manor house and customs house
Between the Modern Age and 1978, Cádavos was the site of one of the 14 customs offices or dry ports that existed in our country to control trade and the traffic of people between Galicia and Portugal. Along with these, there were another 6 customs offices or seaports in the main towns and cities along the coast. The Casa o Pazo de Cádavos has a cross-shaped coat of arms located between two partially moulded air doors. Access is through a monumental doorway crowned by a round arch.
