Article History

Mondoñedo, town, Lugo provincia (province), in the comunidad autónoma (autonomous community) of Galicia, northwestern Spain. It lies along the Masma River, 27 miles (43 km) north of Lugo, the provincial capital. Mondoñedo occupies a sheltered valley among the northern outliers of the Cantabrian Mountains. The town has been an episcopal see since the 12th century. The principal building is the cathedral (begun c. 1220), a Romanesque and Gothic structure with a facade embellished in the Baroque style. The town has several other 17th-century religious structures. The chief industries of Mondoñedo are lace making, linen weaving, and leather and furniture making. The town’s St. Luke Horse Fair is an important regional fair. Mondoñedo is connected by road with Oviedo and Lugo. Pop. (2007 est.) mun., 4,701.
