 The city council was located in Porráns or in Coruto throughout the nineteenth century, but around 1900 it moved to San Antoniño.It is assumed that the capital's location moved from one place to another depending on the number of inhabitants or on the place of residence of the municipal councilors.Since the mid-nineteenth century until the 1980s the population and business center of Barro was not strictly in any of the six parishes, but in the place of Porráns, due to its strategic position and commercial crossroads between Santiago de Compostela, Pontevedra and Moraña.
