Located near Torres do Oeste and the river walkway, this modern building was designed by the architect César Portela. The ground floor houses, in addition to a tourist office, a spacious exhibition hall designed like a Viking longship, which features the history of the Towers, Nordic forays in Galicia, etc.
The basement includes an audiovisual room for screening videos and images, while the first floor features an educational space and recreational area. It is therefore a modern, multi-purpose facility that functions as an interpretation centre and tourist office.
Outside we can see one of the replicas of Viking longships that usually participate every summer in the traditional Viking Festival.
The opening hours (for both, Torres do Oeste Cutlural Activation Centre and for its tourist office) from May 30 are the following:
- Monday: closed
- From Tuesday to Sunday: 10.30 AM – 3.30 PM; 4.00 – 9.00 PM
