The most beautiful religious buildings Galicia

Considered the last high example of Romanesque art in the west, it dates from the 13th century. The narthex (north doorway) was sculpted at that time on the model of the portico of Glory - enough to fill compostellan nostalgic style. The bright polychrome covering the apostles dates from the 17th and 18th centuries. The interior, marked by the Baroque architecture, has a beautiful Gothic retable. Also watch, behind the choir, amazing sculpted wooden crucifix, where a romanesque Christ is sacred, like a medieval king.

A little further behind the cathedral, the Monasterio San Martin Pinario chairs the San Martín Square of a superb façade with a plateresque altarpiece and a double-stolen staircase. By entering the church, the size of the single nave is striking. Admire the beautiful canopy vault, illuminated by a tambour lantern characteristic of Byzantine style. The altarpiece of the altar, designed by the architect Casas y Novoa in 1730, is de style.

The small road crosses a deep countryside, cut small stone walls, then arrive at the hamlet of Santa Eulalia, a real anthropological relic. Discovered in 1926 and declared a national monument artistic by 1931, this small romanesque building was probably built in the 4th century, but do not know that with a purposes. The church houses fine frescoes depicting of the fantastic birds surrounded by vegetation. A magical and enchanting.
