The landscape around Celanova is a rolling mosaic of wooded hills and cultivated valleys, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The town lies in inland Galicia, close to the Arnoia River and within the comarca of Terra de Celanova, where Atlantic rainfall supports green farmland and dense vegetation. Its defining monument is the Monastery of San Salvador de Celanova, founded in 936 by Saint Rudesind. Within its grounds stands the small Mozarabic Chapel of San Miguel, a rare survivor of 10th-century architecture in Galicia.
