Historical
Land's End's harbour
Cee
has been an important city since the XV century because of its sheltered
harbour and its economical activity
based in whale hunting.
At present time, Cee's economy is linked to an alloying factory, main
heavy industry in the district.
Very
few important buildings of the old seafaring village are left since
the town was set on fire by the napoleonic troops in 1809. The most
relevant artistic architecture are the Casa do Coton of the
XVIII century, and the Santa Maria de Xunqueira parochial Church.
Cee is the biggest town in Fisterra's region
and has got consequently good access to the main tourist centers
of Corcubion, Muxia,
Fisterra and the beaches of Estorde,
Carnota and Lires.
Cee
was homeland of two illustrious men: Domingos de Andrade,
who built the Santiago Cathedral's Clock Tower, and Fernando
Blanco Lema, who inaugurated in 1886 one of the most advanced
schools of his time. The foundation building contains different
important collections (shells, first century inventions...) as well
as paintings from reknown artists.
