The Portuguese Way of Saint James in Tui. Monuments of its Historical Site. Part 1.

We return to Tui, on the banks of the River Miño to the south of the province of Pontevedra. Tui is the entry point of the Portuguese Way of Saint James in Galicia and has important monuments that bear witness to its history.

As is known the Cathedral of Santa María is the most representative monument in Tui. Click here to see our previous visit to the Cathedral of Tui.

We begin the walk right next to the Cathedral in the Capilla de la Misericordia (Chapel of Mercy). Beside it the hostel for pilgrims is located. The Chapel of San Telmo is a few metres down the street. We will retrace our steps to see the Convent of the Poor Clares (or Encerradas).

After going through the tunnel underneath the convent we will go towards the remains of the medieval wall in Porta da Pía and Ordóñez Street. Then we will approach the Church of San Francisco to finish our walk at the Convent of Santo Domingo.


Our starting point: The Capilla de la Misericordia. It is located beside the east façade of the Cathedral (to the right of the picture).
