Monuments
Además de un castillo, existe un antiguo monasterio del siglo XII, una ya descatalogada ruta del antiguo camino portugués a Santiago de Compostela, una vía romana y el camino real que unía Madrid con la costa pasando por ese municipio.
Dispersos por el término municipal también hay tres castros celtas en estado de abandono y unos enterramientos prehistóricos situados en la parroquia de Albeos, en el barrio del Outeiro. Y en la misma parroquia hay un pequeño pazo fortificado llamado "Pazo da Fraga".
