Among the artistic heritage of San Martín de Oscos it is worth mentioning the legendary and majestic Palacio de Mon. Conditioned by the sloping terrain, its main facade faces south while its foundations adapt to the slope, fitting into the west bay below ground level while developing height to the east.
The house where Antonio Raimundo Ibáñez, Marquis of Sargadelos (1749-1809) was born is now an exhibition space dedicated to the life and work of this industrial and enlightened merchant, who in the late 18th century built in Sargadelos (Cervo, Lugo) one of the first cast-iron foundry and earthenware factories in Spain.
The town of Vegadeo has the peculiarity of being crossed by two rivers: the Monjardín and the Suarón, which have twelve bridges that cross them (six each). Taking advantage of this circumstance, the idea was that visitors to Vegadeo could get to know the town center by crossing these bridges, and enriching the visit with a sculpture on each of them.
Traditionally, in Santa Eulalia de Oscos, knives have been made for more than a century. Nowadays Jorge (knifemaker) and Keiko (metal craftswoman) maintain this tradition developing this ancient craft to which they add part of the Japanese ancestral wisdom.
