Columbus Memorial Monumento a Colón Xardíns de Colón 36001 Pontevedra The Vincenti Garden is also known as the Columbus Garden, because there is a large monument commemorating the most representative discoverer, Christopher Columbus. The garden is located between the Provincial Council Building and the Valle Inclán Research Institute Building. The granite statue of Columbus was previously located in the greenhouse of Pazo de Montero Ríos, surrounded by a beautiful rose garden, and the discoverer on the statue was holding a flag in his right hand. For many years, people have always believed that Columbus was a Galician, especially from the port town of Pontevedra (Poio). This paper is based on such a tradition, that is, his birthplace is attributed to a local house, and the words "R Juan de Colón 1490" are engraved on a stone cross, and the surname "de Colón" is obviously only used once. Now, this theory has been strengthened by the discovery (or more accurately, recovery) of a notarial certificate in 1796, in which the descendants of the admiral, the Duke of Bellagio, sold a property called "Pontada", which is not far from the alleged location. That was his birthplace and what he inherited from his parents. Pontevedra Province·Galicia Autonomous Region

Monument to the Unknown Soldier Monumento ao Soldado Rúa Alameda, 16, 36001 Pontevedra One of the most spectacular monuments in Pontevedra is the cross dedicated to the heroes who died in the Battle of Ponte Sampaio. This is a huge cross, located on the main artery of the city center, Montesinos Avenue. The avenue is wide and long, which makes tourists even more amazed at this monument, because it can be seen from a distance, and because there are no other buildings around, it looks even bigger from a distance. The monument specifically mentions the battle fought by the residents of the nearby city of Cotobade against the French. Apparently, they defended the French army with simple wooden cannons, which brought them good results, although some of them fell. The cross was installed at this place on the hundredth anniversary of the battle. The monument consists of a huge and slender stone cross, with three soldiers leaning against each other at the bottom. There are also two other steles next to the cross, representing the soldiers helping the comrades who died in the battle. This is a very eye-catching monument that leaves a deep impression. This great monument is located in the Alameda of the capital of Pontevedra, right in front of the bishop's palace (not to be confused with the soldier's monument at the other end of the Alameda). The Hero Monument of Puente Sampaio has been refurbished for a long time, in fact, it used to be surrounded by a large pond, now you can see in the photo, that pond has disappeared, leaving that huge stele, on which there are several bronze figures. The back of the monument reads: "To the heroes of Ponte Sampaio led by Morillo", commemorating the achievements of these Galicians in the War of Independence.

Cruceiro Ponte Da Barca Cross Rúa EchegarayN-550 Ponte Da Barca, 36002 Pontevedra Parish: Pontevedra (Santa María a Maior) Another name: Cruceiro d'Asención, Cruceiro da Moureira According to historical documents, the cross can be traced back to 1592, originally located in the Moureiro community, now Rua do Cruceiro. Castro emphasized it as a transition example from the Renaissance to the Baroque period. The cross has a base with four steps and a hexagonal base, the axis is mounted on this base, which has an octagonal section. Above it, the size increases to properly support the cross. The cross is the most prominent part; it protrudes the end of the tip like an anchor. In the center, the size of Christ is larger than his companions St. John and the Virgin. This expression with different sizes of fragments is a memory of other times; in the following years, this figure will level off. The scene refers to Dis. The back is reserved for the Virgin Mary, representing mercy and her dead son. This figure is perhaps more accomplished than Christ, more emerging from the material, and larger in volume. The devout faction also did a lot of work, showing the more rigid calm and liveliness of the last century. Xosé Fuentes recorded the custom of burying fetuses or stillbirths next to the cross, these crosses were not consecrated and could not be placed in the cemetery.

Puente de los Tirantes cable-stayed bridge R. Jose Malvar Figueroa, 46D, 36002 Pontevedra The Tirantes Bridge is a balanced tower cable-stayed bridge that spans the Lleres River in the Spanish city of Pontevedra, connecting the left and right banks in the north of the city at the height of the Congress Palace. The bridge was designed in 1992 by Leonardo Fernández Troyano and Francisco Javier Manterola Armisen and inaugurated in 1995. It is one of the 33 most unique bridges in Spain. The construction of the bridge was planned by the Galician government in the early 1990s to connect the two banks of the Leres River as part of an urban planning project to develop an ancient marsh in the northeastern part of the city on dry land land. The project includes the construction of the Pontevedra Congress Palace and Exhibition Center and a cable-stayed bridge serving as the city's northern exit. The jury for the preliminary design competition for the bridge, chaired by José Cuíña, MP for Territorial Policy, Public Works and Housing of the Junta de Galicia, announced its decision on 15 December 1991. The construction of the bridge was influenced by the tides at the mouth of the Pontevedra River, with sea level changes of more than 4 metres. This situation forced the construction process to be independent of water, and the bridge had to be built using a continuous cantilever system. On May 13, 1995, the structure underwent a load test. 16 trucks withstood a total load of 480,000 kilograms, resulting in a maximum deformation of 19.3 centimeters in the lower plate. After the load test was successfully completed, the bridge was completed and opened to traffic on May 26, 1995, and has since become one of the symbols of the city's modernization. The total length between the piers of the bridge is 125 meters, with no intermediate supports. The bridge tower or inclined concrete tower is 63 meters high. There are 17 pairs of steel cables extending from the tower. The front steel cables support the concrete beam plates, and the rear steel cables are supported on the concrete beams. There are two concrete bases on the ground that serve as counterweights to balance the forces on the tower or pylon. The bridge deck width is 20 meters. The bridge deck is supported and fixed to the shaft by two bundles of twin cables anchored at the center of the deck every 6 meters with a spacing of 0.70 meters between cables. The tilted tower or pylon acts as an anchor for the forestays and compensating braces that support the bridge deck. The way the bridge is perceived changes depending on weather conditions. Changes in light or wind intensity can change the perception of the bridge, as wind shakes cables or supports and creates characteristic noises. Initially, the Tirantes Bridge had 4 lanes, but in 2013, one of the lanes was removed and consolidated into a cycle path. The steel supports reflect strange images in the water, and when the wind blows, they make a unique and spectacular noise. Province of Pontevedra, Autonomous Region of Galicia

Don García established his fiefdom and residence there, leading to the construction of the 16th century Vistalegre Manor (Pazo de Vistalegre), where his son established a manor under the grant of Carlos I, unifying the assets of Vistalegre, Barrantes and Rubiáns, and through subsequent purchases of the rights to the Vistalegre Fortress and Villagarcia Manor, it has always belonged to this lineage, until Francisco Lavilla Mayor obtained the rights to the town and ended the old fiefdom. Vistalegre Manor Therefore, Álvaro de Mendoza y Soutomaior built the first palace, which was expanded in 1566 by his brother Rodrigo.

The architectural complex was declared a historical-artistic monument, located on land bounded by the old medieval fortress, with part of the city wall next to the Con River preserved.

Church of the Virgin Peregrina Igrexa da Virxe Peregrina Praza da Peregrina, 5, 36001 Pontevedra The Church of the Pilgrim Virgin is a religious building located in the city of Pontevedra in Galicia (Spain). It is composed of a scallop-shaped chapel located at the foot of the Camino de Santiago in Portugal. It began to be built in 1778 and is one of the most symbolic and relevant buildings in the city of Pontevedra. It is dedicated to the Virgin, who, according to tradition, guides the pilgrims from Bayonne to Santiago. The church houses the statue of the Virgin Peregrina (Virxe da Peregrina, 19th century), who is the patron saint of the province of Pontevedra and also the guardian of the Portuguese Way. It was declared a historical-artistic monument in 1982, merging late Baroque and Neoclassical forms, such as the main altarpiece built in 1789. The inspiration for its floor plan comes from the scallop shell, a typical symbol of the pilgrim, with a cross at the end. This circular shape is related to the type prevalent in Portuguese temples at the time. Admiral Casto Méndez Núñez donated a huge Tridacna shell, which he brought back from the Pacific on one of his many voyages, and it is located at the entrance of the church, serving as a stoup. The clock on the north tower was installed in 1896, from the now demolished Hospital of San Juan de Dios. The church also installed the hospital's bell. The first restoration of the temple took place in 1981, to repair serious structural damage (large cracks in the building due to foundation movement). It was carried out by César Portela and José Bar Boo. The second most important restoration work took place in 2008, repairing elements such as stained glass windows, walls, paintings and the clock tower. This is a centrally planned church. The inspiration for its floor plan comes from the scallop shell, a characteristic symbol of the pilgrim, with a cross engraved inside the shell. The floor plan is circular, but by including the foyer, it presents the shape of a scallop shell. The circular hall that makes up the temple itself is made up of four grooved wall pillars, supporting low front arches, with protruding cornices above. Above it stands a dome with a crescent and a lantern. It has a dome, a lantern and a dome. Inside the temple, the rectangular presbytery is covered by a groin vault. The main altarpiece is in the Neoclassical style, made in imitation of the style of Melchor de Prado in 1789, although it was modified by his brothers Manuel Gambino and Juan Pernas Gambino. Its ending is a gable wall, with a relief of the Flight into Egypt and the image of the Pilgrim Virgin, holding the Infant Jesus in her arms, both dressed in cloaks, holding the pilgrim's staff and carrying a gourd. The painting of Santa Clara by Polanco and the replica of the Roman Madonna of San Onofre by Peruzzi stand out. Also noteworthy is the stoup of the nave, decorated with the Tridacna shell brought from the Pacific by Méndez Núñez. The main facade was completed by Antonio Souto and Bernardo José de Mier, in front of which is a courtyard with stairs, surrounded by a balustrade with pinnacles. At the foot of the stairs is a fountain, topped by a sculpture of Teucer. The courtyard and fountain in front of the church form a unique and beautiful urban complex. The Baroque facade is convex, with two bodies. The lower one is decorated with pilasters, the upper one with Corinthian columns, topped by a house, with the image of the Mother of the Pilgrims, the patron saint of the province of Pontevedra, in the niche, and the images of Santiago and San Roque in the niches on either side. The three are dressed as pilgrims. The niche has a scallop-shaped vault and is decorated with earlobes. At the top is a split pediment, in the centre of which is a sculpture symbolising the image of faith; on either side stand two equal towers, giving the temple a strange slender, elegant and solemn appearance. The lower half has a large semicircular doorway, the lintel separates the door, above the lintel are three upper gable windows, the centre one is triangular, the sides are curved.

Convento e Igrexa de San Francisco Convento de San Francisco (Pontevedra) Praza da Estrela, s/n, 36002 Pontevedra Convento de San Francisco de Pontevedra In the center of the city of Pontevedra there is a large square, called A Ferrería. For centuries, it has been a meeting point for many citizens of Pontevedra and the region. A few meters from the square is the famous La Peregrina church and sanctuary, a symbol of the city of Pontevedra. On one side of the square stands the 13th-century Franciscan church and convent, adjacent to the current delegation of the Treasury. It is said that Saint Francis went on a pilgrimage to Compostela and in 1214 established the first Franciscan convent there, which later became a model for many other temples in the Galician region. The Convent of San Francisco de Pontevedra follows the pattern of the Latin cross plan of Santiago, with a nave, transept, triple apse head, one of which is a larger central apse and two polygonal side apses, covered with ribbed vaults, while the nave is covered with wood. The old Franciscan convent received its first donation in 1274. From the 13th century, only the front and main body of the temple are preserved. The altar and apse were built in the 14th century. In the following centuries, the staircase leading to the main door (1853) and the Dominican door of the same century were built, which is now the Treasury office, once belonged to the convent, was part of the city wall. The temple was restored in 1923, caught fire in 1995, and had to be restored again. Inside are the tombs of Padre Gómez Chariño, Xoán Feijoo de Soutomaior and Paio de Montenegro. The tomb of Paio Gómez Chariño stands out in its austere interior decoration, he was a troubadour and admiral at the end of the 13th century. On its front, we will see a pointed arch, with a double vault, supported on two pairs of connected columns. Above it is a large rose window in Cistercian style. On either side of the entrance are a buttress and two trumpet-shaped windows with pointed arches. Above the rose window is the shield symbolizing the Franciscans. On the left stands a tower with a bell tower. According to records, the convent was founded by Francisco de Asís, who stopped in Pontevedra on the Camino de Santiago route in Portugal. The arrival of the Franciscans in this city may have occurred 30 years after the 13th century. The historical fact is that, according to the records of the National Archives and the will of Arias Fernández, the property of the Armenteira monastery, the foundation existed as early as 1274. The building received financial help from the heirs of Pay Gómez Chariño in 2017. A plot of land from the Soutomaior residence, which was still on the outskirts of the city wall at the time. The splendor of this building aroused the jealousy of the Dominicans stationed in the city, who had completed the church ten years ago and decided to start building another church larger than the Franciscan church in 1380, with five apses. In 1362, the city began to build the cathedral of the Poor Clare Church, similar to the church of San Francisco, but smaller. In addition to these three buildings, the parish church of San Bartolomé also expanded between 1337 and 1339. This peak of construction was due to the large donations from wealthy families, who were afraid of dying from the Black Death that swept Europe in 1297. This church is of late Gothic or pointed style, and was declared a historical-artistic monument in 1896. It has a Latin cross plan, with a nave, transept, wooden roof and apse, the apse has three polygonal apses, covered with ribbed vaults. The building where the Treasury delegation is located was built in 1800, including the Dominican city gate of the 13th-century old city wall. Pontevedra Province, Galicia Autonomous Region

The crisp mountain air filled my lungs, invigorating me and heightening my anticipation for the adventure that lay ahead.

Standing atop the world, I was humbled by the panoramic views that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Review of a 7-day trip to Japan with 2 friends A budget of 30,000 baht per person, including round-trip airfare, accommodation, and food. ✈️🍣🍜🍱🇯🇵 #Caption under the picture Let me say this first: We only spent 2 days planning our trip before the flight, which was very sudden. 😂 Because we wanted to go, we booked the tickets right away. We didn't plan the tourist attractions before the flight. We planned it later. This trip, we focused on walking, shopping, and eating. It wasn't really important. 5555 We wanted to go to Fuji, but we didn't go because it was raining heavily. 🥹 #Flight We flew with Philippine Airlines, changing planes from Bangkok to the Philippines. We waited for 2 hours to change planes, and flew to Japan at Narita Airport. When we arrived at Narita Airport, we bought a high-speed train ticket at the airport. The round-trip ticket was expensive, but we arrived at our destination very quickly. We also bought a 72-hour ordinary train ticket that could be used as much as we wanted. We exchanged only 30,000 yen from Suvarnabhumi Airport for food. Shopping and train tickets in Japan only. It's a budget trip for us but we don't go hungry. When we're hungry, we buy food. Most of it is spent on food🤣 #Read more under the picture below

The drawings are very lively. We have a lot of fun here. The most exciting part is finding a secret door for you to continue your journey

The art museum is far from the crowd and noise in central tokyo but can be reached via metro line conveniently. Check out the featured exhibitions. Absolutely worth a visit #Tokyo #Museum
