In the cloister of San Francisco there are four windows with the shields of the four provinces of Galicia.
They are very well made and current, which makes us think that they were much later (less than 60 years)

The shield of A Coruña consists of an azure field on which is represented, in silver, the Tower of Hercules. Under it, two crossed tibias also of silver and a skull of the same color crowned with gold. The Tower of Hercules is accompanied by seven golden pilgrim shells, three on each side and one in the center of the tip. Seven shells that represent the seven provinces that make up the Kingdom of Galicia. [1] The bell, royal crown, lined with goals, or red, closed, which is a circle of gold, set with precious stones, composed of eight florets of acanthus leaves, visible five, interpolated with pearls and from each of its leaves come out five diadems added of pearls that converge in an azure orb, with the semimeridian and the equator of gold, added of gold cross.
