From the Santiago de Compostela World / Places
Church and Convent of San Domingos de Bonaval
The former Dominican complex in Bonaval brings together an old church and convent rooms now occupied by the Museo do Pobo Galego; the two parts offer different reasons to enter.
Why go
Visit for the contrast between the church's medieval fabric and the later Baroque work in the convent. The triple spiral stair by Domingo de Andrade belongs to the museum route, while the church connects the building to the Panteón de Galegos Ilustres and Galicia's cultural memory.
What to look for
The church preserves medieval Gothic fabric alongside later changes.
Domingo de Andrade's triple spiral staircase rises inside the former convent.
The church houses the Panteón de Galegos Ilustres.
Useful to know
Decide whether you want the church, the museum rooms, or both; access arrangements differ.
Pair the complex with nearby CGAC for a contrast between historic and contemporary Bonaval.
