# Historic character & prime location in the heart of Ferrol

116 m² · Historic building · 1890 · Renovated in 2005 · 3 bedrooms · 1 bathroom · 2 glazed galleries · Balcony · First floor · No lift

A rare opportunity to acquire a spacious historic residence in one of the most distinctive locations in Ferrol, Galicia, just 20 metres from the emblematic Plaza de Amboage, in the heart of the city's historic centre.

Set within a historic building dating from 1890, this 116 m² property combines the architectural character of late-19th-century Ferrol with a renovation carried out in 2005, creating a home that retains its original identity while offering the functionality required for contemporary living.

## A property with authentic architectural character

The property stands out for the preservation of traditional architectural features that are increasingly difficult to find in modern homes.

Original-style elements include wooden parquet flooring, decorative mouldings, traditional wooden shutters, glazed galleries and a balcony, creating an atmosphere of warmth and understated elegance.

The two galleries are particularly representative of Ferrol's historic architecture. Glazed wooden galleries are one of the defining features of the city's traditional residential buildings and form part of the architectural identity of the historic district.

The result is a home with genuine character rather than a conventional modern apartment: generous proportions, abundant natural light and architectural details that preserve the connection with the city's history.

## A prime location: Plaza de Amboage & A Magdalena

The property is located in the Amboage area, within the historic Barrio de A Magdalena, one of the most significant urban ensembles in Ferrol.

A Magdalena is an exceptional example of 18th-century rationalist urban planning, developed during the period in which Ferrol grew as an important naval and military centre. Its carefully planned grid of streets is framed by two major squares: Plaza de Amboage and Plaza de Armas. The district preserves historic buildings, balconies, ironwork and glazed wooden galleries dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, together with outstanding examples of later Modernist architecture.

The district was officially declared a Historic-Artistic Ensemble in 1983, underlining its cultural and architectural importance.

Plaza de Amboage itself occupies one of the principal positions within this historic urban layout. The square is dominated by the monument dedicated to the Marquis of Amboage, inaugurated in 1896 in recognition of Ramón Pedro Francisco Pla y Monge, a Ferrol-born philanthropist whose legacy remains closely associated with the city.

The location therefore offers something particularly attractive to an international buyer: the possibility of living within a genuine historic urban environment rather than simply purchasing a property described as “historic”.

## Walkable city-centre living

From the property, the essential attractions and services of central Ferrol are immediately accessible on foot.

The surrounding area offers:

- Plaza de Amboage, virtually on the doorstep.
- The historic streets of A Magdalena.
- Traditional shops, cafés, restaurants and local services.
- Plaza de Armas and other important civic spaces.
- Historic churches and architectural landmarks.
- Cultural attractions and museums.
- Easy access to the wider historic centre and waterfront.
- Connection with the Camino Inglés, one of the routes leading to Santiago de Compostela.

The location is particularly appealing for buyers looking for a property where everyday life can be enjoyed largely on foot, while remaining immersed in one of Galicia's most distinctive historic urban environments.

## An interesting proposition for investors

Beyond its residential appeal, the property offers characteristics that may be particularly interesting for investors seeking historic properties in established city-centre locations.

Its principal strengths include:

1. Scarcity of comparable properties
Large homes retaining traditional architectural features in prime historic-centre locations are inherently limited in supply.

2. Prime central position
Being just 20 metres from Plaza de Amboage places the property at the heart of one of Ferrol's most recognisable historic areas.

3. Architectural identity
The parquet, mouldings, wooden shutters, glazed galleries and balcony provide tangible character that differentiates the property from standard contemporary apartments.

4. Historic setting
The property is situated within the wider historic environment of A Magdalena, officially recognised for its cultural and urban heritage.

5. Multiple potential uses
Subject to applicable planning, heritage and licensing requirements, its size and location may make it worth considering both as a private residence and as an asset for certain residential or accommodation strategies.

6. International appeal
Ferrol's historic centre, its connection with Galicia's maritime heritage and its position on the Camino Inglés give the area an appeal that extends beyond the local residential market.

For an investor, the attraction is therefore not simply the 116 m² of floor space, but the combination of location, architectural character, historic context and scarcity.

## A home with history - and a future

This is not simply a renovated apartment.

It is a substantial historic residence retaining the visual language of Ferrol's late-19th-century architecture, carefully updated in 2005 while preserving many of the details that give it its identity.

Its position beside Plaza de Amboage places it within one of the city's most recognisable historic environments, while its generous 116 m² offer the space and flexibility rarely found in such a central location.
