The Magdalena neighborhood

Ferrolterra e Eume » Ferrol

A route to discover the form and meaning of a unique urban structure in Galicia: the Magdalena neighborhood. The urban plan of this neighborhood was approved by Carlos III in the year 1761 and is one of the most singular examples of the ilustrated architecture of the VIII century. It is, therefore, the prototype city of the Enlightenment, planned and rational, with modernism rehabilitations.

Sometimes the closest is the least known, so we will walk through the center of Ferrol to know the history, shape and sense of the Magdalena neighborhood, a unique urban structure in Galicia and it is worthwhile that our little schoolchildren know it.

This visit can be combined with a visit to some notable buildings such as the Jofre Theater, the cultural center Torrente Ballester or the Concatedral de San Xiao.
