GALICIA Provinces - TUI |
|
TUI. Tui has a legendary
origin, explained by its privileged location on a hill and next to
the Portuguese border by the River Mino. This has given the city a
pattern of streets winding slowly and harmoniously down towards the
river. The cathedral was converted into a fortress studded with battlements,
as a result of frequent invasions. It was begun in the 12th century
in Romanesque style with influences from Compostela. This was then
superseded by an early, French-inspired Gothic, the best example of
which is the main facade. A spacious cloister was built in the southern
part.
The old Church of Santo Domingo, the later one of San Francisco, the
convent of the Order of St. Clare, known as the "Encerradas",
and the Chapel of Mercy, are other monuments worth mentioning. Influences
of Portuguese Baroque are seen in the Church of San Telmo, patron
of the city.
