Objective: the aim of this article is to reconstruct the history of the foundation of “Manicomio de Conxo”, an essential institution to understand the development of psychiatry in Galicia during the 19th century. Reconstruction was done by the analysis of the journals of the time. Method: we searched in journals published between 1845 – 1890 in the digital archives Galiciana and Biblioteca Nacional de España. Finally, a search of scientific articles was carried out for the discussion of the results. Results: the findings indicate the project started in 1862, with the propositions of the Condesa de Espoz y Mina and the governor of A Coruña. Finally, the Santiago sanatorium was inaugurated the 1st of July 1885, under the patronage of Arzobispo Payá y Rico. Conclusions: The non-existence of asylums and the expensive transfers justified the foundation of a psychiatric institution in Galicia. During the second half of the 19th century, the political and social instability influenced the paralysis and resumption of the project, and the negotiations and discussions between different entities for a long time. The asylum was the reference for other institutions, despite its perpetual confinement and its private management
