Corcubión developed as a fishing and trading port on the sheltered Ría de Corcubión. In 1430, the Moscoso family made the town the administrative centre of their coastal jurisdiction. Its historic centre preserves noble residences and 19th-century merchant houses, including waterfront buildings with enclosed glass galleries.
What to see in Corcubión
Igrexa de San Marcos
The church retains a 14th-century chancel and a largely 15th-century nave, but its neo-Gothic façade dates from the late 19th century. French troops burned its interior in 1809, and lightning struck the tower during Mass in 1885, bringing down part of the façade and roof. Inside is San Marcos da Cadeira, a 15th-century Italian Gothic sculpture depicting the evangelist seated with an open book and a winged lion at his feet. According to local legend, the image was left in Corcubión after storms repeatedly prevented the ship carrying it from departing.
