San Paio Castle History
The San Paio Castle (Spanish: Fortaleza de San Paio de Narla) was probably built by Gonzalo Ozores in the early 15th century.
Like nearly every castle in Galicia, it suffered from the Irmandinos uprising. Reconstruction began shortly after the war, by nobleman Vasco das Seixas.
The San Paio Castle consists of a huge keep and a domastic range attached to it, that previously formed the enclosure. It has a little courtyard in the middle and some beautiful stone staircases leading to the upper floor.
