Muros is a historic fishing town on the northern shore of the Ría de Muros e Noia, in the province of A Coruña, Galicia, on Spain’s north-west Atlantic coast. Its vernacular architecture is characterised by granite houses with arcaded ground floors, narrow cobbled streets, and traditional fishermen’s dwellings clustered around the harbour. Significant buildings include the Church of San Pedro de Muros, the historic harbour, and numerous medieval townhouses bearing carved coats of arms. The surrounding countryside supports dairy farming, forestry, and small-scale agriculture, while the estuary provides rich shellfish beds and sustains an active fishing fleet. Muros stands out from similar Galician coastal towns because it has retained much of its medieval street plan and working fishing-port character, where everyday maritime life continues alongside its well-preserved historic centre.
