Parish church of San Lourenzo da Granxa

 

Today this single-nave church with a rectangular plan reflects several building phases. The first is Romanesque (11th–12th centuries), to which the presbytery, main chapel and rubble altarpiece belong. The second dates from the first third of the 18th century, when, in the Baroque period, the west end was remodelled with a gallery, door and bell tower. The body of the church was rebuilt and extended several times: in 1901 the stairs, bell gable and gallery were rebuilt, and in 1918 the high altar was restored. During major restoration work in 1973, a column-reliquary tomb was discovered from the original 9th-century building, from the time of Bishop Sisnando.
Inside you can admire:
· Altarpieces: main altarpiece.
· Statues: St Lucy, Our Lady of the Rosary, St John the Baptist, St Anthony of Padua, St Barbara, Sacred Heart of Jesus, St Lawrence and Christ crucified.
