 solopes Says:  Located by the cathedral the ayuntamient (city hall) is a nice building with traditional look, but I couldn't read anything about it. 

 solopes Says:  Maybe the first Gothic temple built in all Iberia, this church comes from the 12Th century, initially in Romanic style. The heavy, crenellated walls, are complemented by delicate details in the later built main door. It is, no doubt, the most beautiful monument in Tuy. 

 solopes Says:  The burial place of the local nobles, this Gothic church, has as the most distinguishable details two Baroque retables from the 18th century. It was part on a convent, disappeared with few remains.

 solopes Says:  In the main avenue, close to the cathedral, there's a church from the 18th century that exemplies the typucal Galician style. Granite dominates, and the main door is interesting. 

 solopes Says:  In my first visit to Tuy it was so visible the commerce with Portuguese that I... skipped. In my second visit, things had changed, the differences in prices didn't invite so much the Portuguese (excluding fuel) and I could appreciate the real city.
