Galician Pazos - Overview The term "pazo" comes from the Latin "palatium" and refers to a traditional Galician manor house, typically located in the countryside. These manor houses, built between the 17th and 19th. centuries, featuring heraldic, religious and ethnographic elements, were the residences of nobles or important figures. Unlike classical palaces, pazos are more discreet, harmonizing with the landscape, and served both residential and agricultural functions. These buildings were usually constructed in strategic locations (elevated areas), to provide a panoramic view of the land and better control over the estate. They are characterized by their robustness and design, with stone as the predominant building material, reflecting the Galician spirit of tradition and resilience. Many have coats of arms on their facades, marking the nobility and lineage of their former inhabitants. Additionally, they often include a chapel, a reflection of Galicia’s deep religious tradition. Beyond their residential role, pazos played a key role in the regional economy, with fertile lands often used for vineyards, orchards, and farms. Socially, pazos were hubs of power, hosting important meetings, parties, and events that cemented the owners' social standing. They are living witnesses to Galicia's history and paying a visit is a journey into the heart of this magical land’s traditions. Some of the most spectacular pazos feature gardens that are at their best in spring and autumn, and in winter, they are part of Galicia’s famous Camellia Route. Today, many pazos have been restored and opened to the public, transforming into museums, hotels, or event spaces. A visit to a pazo is like traveling through time, connecting with history and the importance of preserving this rich heritage. Pazos are a reminder of Galicia's grand past and a legacy that should be enjoyed and protected by future generations. There are around 900 pazos cataloged in the Inventario Xeral de Patrimonio of Galicia, and nearly a hundred are on the market. Prices ranging from €350,000 to €6 million. #LuxuryInvestments #PazosGalicia #EcoTourism #HospitalityInvestments #WellnessRetreats #BoutiqueHotels #RealEstateInvestments #HistoricProperties #SpainRealEstate MARCELA GILLMAN

Views, views, views. It's what places in #Valencia don't tend to have as Valencia is flat. So when you get a view as good as this and you get it from every room as the building is on a corner then it's worth taking a look at. https://lnkd.in/e5MGk-F3 #ValenciaProperty

"Piedmont is an Italian region that’s relatively off the radar – except for the gastronomes and oenophiles, for whom it’s hallowed territory." The mass has no cultural means to understand Piedmont. The mass comes to Piedmont, with the Italian kitsch in their mind then they discover that Turin was the capital of Savoy and get confused. If you travel to Italy thinking that this is a big Don Corleone country, not only you miss its best, but you will never understand its multi-faceted cultural context. The Italian State is the legal continuation of the County of Savoy, Duchy of Savoy, Kingdom of Sardinia and Kingdom of Italy, for finally arriving to our beloved Italian Republic. Count more than 1000 years. I am happy that we are a State that in its north, center, south, east and west can offer so much, respecting all its cultural minorities. The goal for Italy should not be nationalism: it should be universalism, starting from its so many different grape varieties and its leading position in what concerns Geographical Indications, for example. GIs are IPRs protecting also the heritage of a product. We need people with culture visiting us, respecting us and not mocking us. If you want to know more about Piedmont, just ask me. #respect https://lnkd.in/d7gsxZgv
