dealchecker's guide to Tui
Tui has a legendary origin, explained by its privileged location on a hill and next to the Portuguese border by the River Miño. This has given the city a pattern of streets winding slowly and harmoniously down towards the river.
Tui Cathedral-Fortress, the cathedral was converted into a fortress studded with battlements, as a result of frequent invasions. It was begun in the 12th century in Romanesque style with influences from Compostela. This was then superseded by an early, French-inspired Gothic, the best example of which is the main façade. A spacious cloister was built in the southern part.
