A palloza is a traditional dwelling of the Serra dos Ancares of northwest Spain. Palloza are buildings characteristic of the pre-Roman culture which still exists in many other parts of the natural region of Os Ancares. Nestled, at 1,300 metres of altitude, between the mountain ranges of O Courel and Os Ancares, the village is home to traditional mountain dwellings of pre-Roman origin, called ‘pallozas’. These unique homes can only be found in this region of Galicia.
