About the museum
The Ecomuseo de Arxeriz occupies a 17th-century pazo and several traditional rural buildings on an estate of about 30 hectares on the bank of the Miño, in the municipality of O Saviñao (Lugo). The property forms part of the Ribeira Sacra landscape.
The pazo houses four rooms devoted to the Ribeira Sacra (Romanesque architecture, the Entroido ribeirao carnival tradition and crafts), to traditional viticulture, to castro (hillfort) and prehistoric culture, and to river culture on the Miño and Sil rivers, with a wide collection of traditional boats. A traditional kitchen is also preserved.
The visit continues through the estate's buildings (chapel, hórreo, cabazo, dovecote, ovens and others) and reaches the castro, where the first archaeological campaign took place in 2013. A path crosses the estate among oaks and other deciduous trees, and the route ends with panoramic views over the river.
