The "hórreos" occupy a nuclear place in the canvas of Galician heritage and, singularly, in Amoeiro. Proof of their relevance is the protection they have received since 1973, and in particular the consideration of Assets of Cultural Interest (BIC) granted by the Spanish Historical Heritage Law of June 25, 1985; In addition, it is worth highlighting the quantity and uniqueness of many of them in our land: in a work commissioned by the city council in 2009 to the specialist José Arturo Fernández Araújo and the architect Diego González Naval, which was presented with the help of the cultural 1% in 2010 , Amoeiro City Council made an inventory of 220 of these constructions, presenting a restoration project to the Ministry of Development that did not obtain the expected financial aid due to technical-legal issues.
