PAZO DE MOS
Por esta zona de Mos circulaba unha antiga calzada romana que unía Bracara Augusta con Tui e Santiago. Este lugar é tamén paso de peregrinos que camiñan cara Santiago de Compostela. Ós pés deste vial, ó lado da Igrexa de Santa Baia de Mos, contruíse este pazo no século XVIII (1710-20) para albergar á familia dos marqueses. Aquí viviron ata que un incendio e os invasores franceses o destrozaran case totalmente. Despois dun gran período de abandono e ruína o pazo de Mos foi reconstruído na primeira década do século XXI e hoxe en día é utilizado para diversos actos veciñais e municipais.
Este pazo caracterízase por unha extraordinaria solidez e un aspecto robusto e severo. A súa estrutura renacentista componse de tres plantas onde sobresaen os tres balcóns de granito labrados e as dúas chemineas rematadas en esfera de estilo herreriano. De destacar é o escudo da Casa de Mos que no século XIX dá orixe ó actual emblema municipal.
O lugar onde se atopa o pazo, adaptouse á contorna: un espazo natural de lecer situado no centro da parroquia Santa Eulalia de Mos, e que inclúe, ademais do Pazo dos Marqueses, a Igrexa e o albergue de peregrinos. Dispón de amplas prazas tanto diante como detrás do Pazo e anfiteatro con bancadas e zona de concertos, e unha gran zona axardinada, con distintas especies vexetais, carreiros, hortas, xardíns xeométricos...e parque infantil para o desfrute dos máis pequenos.

PALACE OF MOS
An old Roman road ran through this area of Mos that connected Bracara Augusta with Tui and Santiago. This place is also a passage for pilgrims who walk to Santiago de Compostela. At the foot of this avenue, next to the Church of Santa Baia de Mos, this palace was built in the 18th century (1710-20) to house the Marquis family. Here they lived until a fire and the French invaders destroyed it almost completely. After a long period of neglect and ruin, the Mos mansion was rebuilt in the first decade of the 21st century and today it is used for various neighborhood and municipal events.
This palace is characterized by extraordinary solidity and a robust and severe appearance. Its Renaissance structure is made up of three floors where the three carved granite balconies stand out and the two fireplaces finished in Herrerian-style spheres. Of particular note is the coat of arms of the House of Mos, which in the 19th century gave rise to the current municipal emblem.
The place where the palace is located has adapted to its surroundings: a natural leisure space located in the center of the Santa Eulalia de Mos parish, which includes, in addition to the Marqueses Palace, the Church and the pilgrims' hostel. It has large squares both in front of and behind the Palace and an amphitheater with stands and a concert area, and a large garden area, with different plant species, paths, orchards, geometric gardens... and a playground for the little ones to enjoy.
