A Pazo is a type of Galician traditional house. Similar to a manor house, pazos are usually located in the countryside, as former residences of important people in the community (formerly of kings and nobility). They were of crucial importance in the 17th to 19th centuries, related to rural and monastic architecture and the system of feudal organization, and they constituted a type of local management unit around which the life of the villagers revolved. Over time they become the social symbol and refuge of the noble class, which Otero Pedrayo portrayed in his novels in early 20th century. The pazo, as a traditional civil architectural structure, had associated a social network: the servants of the nobleman and the tributaries of the domain, who themselves came to live on the grounds of the pazo (mostly the former). A pazo usually consists of a main building surrounded by gardens, a dovecote and often include outbuildings such as small chapels for religious celebrations. The word ''pazo'' is a cognate of stately ''palace'', and comes from the Latin ''palatiu(m)''. As a curiosity, the Portuguese word, close to the Galician language, to say ''palace'' is ''paço'' (instead of ''palácio''). In this regard, the Paço Imperial in Rio de Janeiro, built in the 18th century, is an example of the Portuguese counterpart of this type of building. ==Gallery== File:PazoDaTrave.jpg|Pazo da Trave, Viveiro File:Pazo Baión.jpg|Pazo Baión, Vilanova de Arousa File:Pazo de Pousadouro.JPG|Pazo de Pousadouro, Redondela File:Pazo Pondal.jpg|Pazo Pondal, Cotobade File:Cambados 060905 Pazo de Fefiñáns.jpg|Pazo de Fefiñáns, Cambados File:Pazo de Oca.JPG|Pazo de Oca, A Estrada File:Pazo Bermúdez de Castro.jpg|Pazo Bermúdez de Castro, Cotobade File:Pazo de Leis, O Barro, A Baña.jpg|Pazo de Leis, A Baña File:Casa grande de lentille.JPG|Casa grande de lentille en Cenlle File:Pazo de Mos-01-1.jpg|Pazo de Mos, Mos File:Pontevedra, Galiza.
