WORLD HERITAGE CITIES

In the evening you can visit the nearby Pobo Galego Museum , which encapsu- lates Galician ethnography in a section dedicated to archaeological finds with- in the region. Next door, there's the Centro Galego deArte Contemporánea (Galician Contemporary Art Centre), famous not only for the exhibits but for the building itself, designed by the Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza. If you're staying for more than one day you should take a bus and visit the huge City of Culture on Mount Gaiás. This is an architectural complex designed by the New York architect Peter Eisenman, which has an interesting programme of cultural activities throughout the year and facilities include museums, a library, an opera theatre and a research centre.
