Church of Santo Estevo de Lousadela

lousadela1

“Thanks to its remarkable isolation, Santo Estevo de Lousadela has remained practically unchanged since the 12th century. It is well worth stopping to admire the corbels that support the cornices and, of course, to enjoy its interior if we have the chance.”

Church of Santiago de Barbadelo

The church belonged to the monastery that the Benedictines had there. Very interesting main door with pentagonal tympanum, side door and tower from the period. Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) since 2008.

Saint Lazarus Chapel

Capela de San Lazaro

(18th century). It is the only remnant of what was once the Hospital of San Lázaro, dedicated to curing people suffering from leprosy between the 15th and 17th centuries.

Monastery of Madalena

Mosteiro da Madalena

(12th century). Founded as a hospital and refuge for pilgrims, by two Italian friars. Today it is governed by the Order of Mercy. One of the most representative monuments of Sarria.

Church of San Salvador

Igrexa de San Salvador

(13th century). It shows some Romanesque elements and Gothic arches and doors. Outstanding on the outside are the medieval ironwork and capitals with human heads, scrolls, the Tree of Life, rosettes and nail points.
