"In the Mercedarian monastery of San Juan de Poio, the church built in the 17th century stands out, which reflects the taste for combining classicist and baroque forms. Inside there is a beautiful altarpiece from the 18th century, in the Churrigueresque style, and in the left nave is the tomb of Santa Trahamunda (highly venerated in the municipality). The cloister of the processions (16th century), with a baroque fountain, is also remarkable. and an original staircase. And the cloister of the Cruceiro (18th century) with its impressive mosaic of the Camino de Santiago of 200 m2. of length. Also noteworthy are its library, the mosaic museum, the "Escola de Canteiros" or the headquarters of the Summer University courses. At present the convent is dedicated to a tourist inn run by the monks."
