TUY

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 489 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
TUY , a city of north-western Spain, in the province of Pontevedra, on the right bank of the river Mino (Portuguese Minho), opposite Valenga do Minho, which stands on the left bank in Portuguese territory. Pop. (1900), 11,113. Tuy is the southern terminus of the railways to Santiago de Compostela and Corunna; Valenga do Minho is the northern terminus of the Portuguese railway to Oporto. Near Tuy rises the Monte San Cristobal, whose far-spreading spurs constitute the fertile and picturesque Vega del Oro. To the
east
  is the river Louro, a right-hand tributary of the Mino abounding in salmon, trout, lamprey, eels and other fishes; and beyond the Louro, on the railway to Corunna, are the hot
mineral
  springs of San Martin de Caldelas. Tuy is a clean and pleasant city with well-built houses, regular streets and many gardens. The
cathedral
 , founded in the 12th century, but largely restored between the 15th and 19th, is of a massive and fortress-like architecture. Its half-ruined cloister and noble eastern facade date from the 14th century. There are several large convents and ancient parish churches, an old episcopal palace, hospitals, good schools, a theatre, and a very handsome
bridge
  over the Mino built in 1885. The
industries
  of Tuy include tanning, brewing, the
distillation
  of spirits and the manufacture of soap. The city has also a brisk agricultural
trade
 .
During part of the 7th century Tuy was the Visigothic
capital
 . It was taken from the Moors by
Alphonso
  VII. in the 12th century. As a frontier fortress it played an important part in the wars between Portugal and Castile.
