    As Torres de Meirás son un edificio cunha forte carga simbólica asociada á ditadura de Franco. Porén, contan cunha historia anterior: foron construídas nunha finca na que xa existía un vello pazo –a Granja de Meirás– por Emilia Pardo Bazán, que participou no seu deseño e fixo delas a súa residencia e lugar traballo. Analízanse de seguido as motivacións que a levaron a erguelas, as súas características e os seus usos no tempo da escritora, cando se converteron nun espazo de referencia.

    The Torres de Meirás is a landmark: a construction whose symbolic meaning is closely connected to Franco regime. Nevertheless, The Torres itself has a particular history: they were planned and built by Emilia Pardo Bazán in a state where there was before another construction, the Farm of Meirás, that also belonged to the family and that was actually Doña Emilia studio. In this article I will analyze the reason why the Torres were constructed, as well as their characteristics and the different usages of the building in the times of Emilia Pardo Bazán, when they became a cultural referent.
