Pazo de Oca

Pazo de Oca has a magnificent manor house of 1746, joined by a gallery to a later Baroque church, has a patio-like garden around an 18th century fountain of an unusual trefoil shape. The inner garden is watered by a stream coming to rest in two large, formal pools. They are divided by a bridge in the Baroque style of Santiago and a stone boat manned by sailor in 18th century dress in the lower pool. The surrounding paths are shadowed by box trees, and a green pall of mosses and lichens. In the late 19th century, the garden included photinias, magnolias and camellias overhang the principal walks.
