Convento de Los Padres Franciscanos, Louro-Muros

History

The convent was founded in the 13th century by Saint Francis. When the saint visited Santiago de Compostela, he established a convent there. After visiting Louro, he created a small hermitage which was later enlarged and became a convent in the 14th century. The Franciscan friars inhabited the institution until 1835 at which time they were forced to leave due to the suppression of religious orders. Sometime later, a wealthy man from Santiago de Compostela bought the property and returned it to the Franciscan Order. After an absence of thirty-five years, the friars returned.
