The Optical House, whose name derives from the profession of its promoter, is another good example of Indian construction. Its generous dimensions together with the decorative elements such as the staircase and the presidential balcony or the decoration of the facade, give it a greater packaging and monumentality. Like the residences of merchants and shipowners of the 18th and 19th centuries, it is crowned by a gurugú or glazed viewpoint, an element later incorporated into many of the Indian dwellings in this town hall. Acacia and palm trees planted more than a century ago are preserved in the garden. It is currently the headquarters of the Official School of Languages of Ribadeo. This property is part of the Ruta de los Indianos.
