CHURCH OF SANTIAGO DE SIGRÁS

Continuing the way we will find the church of Santiago de Sigrás. Of romanic origin, it was remodeled throughout the centuries: romanic, gotic, renaissance, baroque and neoclassical. The front was reconstructed in 1600 and reformed in 1701, adding renacentist elements, baroque and neoclassic. It preserves its romanesque interior and the semicircular arch of chancel, sustained by columns with chapiters decorated with plant motifs. Outside, under the cornice of side walls there are a series of corbels that reproduce characteristic animal and monsters heads. As a singular element we can highlight the south wall gate with its pointed arch (XV century). It was a hospital for pilgrims.
