Hermitage of Nosa Señora de A Lanzada

The temple is in late Romanesque style from the 12th Century and it was built using stones from an old chapel. In the centre of the chapel’s nave there is a miniature of a ship suspended from the ceiling, a sign of gratitude for the protection offered as an advocate for sailors.

Also in this area are the remains of a medieval fortress from the 10th century. It was built by Bishop Sisnando II of Iria to defend the lands of Santiago from Arab and Norman invaders.
