A striking structure in Ribadeo with a blend of concrete and iron.

Torre dos Moreno, located in Ribadeo on Praza de España and Rua de Ibáñez, is a building that dates back to 1915, ordered by Pedro and Juan Moreno Ulloa. The building showcases a modernist style, with its construction consisting of a mix of concrete and iron. It is included in the Ben de Interese Cultural do conxunto histórico da vila de Ribadeo.

Before 1915, the plot where Torre dos Moreno stands housed the 'Torre Julia' or ‘Torre da Fortaleza’, remnants of the old Ribadeo fortress. The floor measures 950 m².

The building, comprising of a ground floor, three floors, and a basement (excluding the part of the exit of the main tower), has experienced various partial restorations throughout its history.
