About Pazo de Meirás#

Pazo de Meirás is a 19th-century Galician manor house (pazo) located near the coastal town of Sada in the province of A Coruña, Galicia, Spain. It is notable for its 20th-century association with General Francisco Franco.

The estate includes the main manor building, tower elements and surrounding grounds typical of a Galician pazo. Interest in the site stems largely from its architecture and its role in 20th-century Spanish history rather than as a large public park or museum complex.

Constructed as a rural aristocratic residence in the 19th century, the pazo later became the summer residence of General Francisco Franco during his rule. Ownership and use of the property were the subject of legal disputes in the 21st century that resulted in its return to public ownership.

The pazo sits near the coastal town of Sada in northwestern Galicia, in the province of A Coruña, within sight of the Galician coastline and the Atlantic influence on the landscape.

Ownership history: Taken into public ownership following Spanish court rulings in 2020 and subject to administrative decisions regarding public access and use.
