Description

Officially opened on 4 October 1896 by the architects Manuel Borrajo and Antonio Crespo López, it was the first lay educational centre in Orense. Its sumptuously decorated Main Hall and the Arabic room stand out with the latter´ s carved furniture from the cabinet-making workshops of the town of Orense. This building was erected at a time of great affluence for the Council and it was totally restored in 1927 after a big fire.
The current name makes reference to the patriarch of Galician literature and schoolteacher, Ramón Otero Pedrayo.
