Church of San Pedro de Soandres

Monument · A Laracha, Bergantiños, A Coruña

The church of San Pedro de Soandres, documented as a monastery as early as the late 10th century, in the year 956, is the religious complex of greatest historical standing in the municipality of A Laracha and for centuries was the spiritual centre of inland Bergantiños. The present building, in ogival style, dates from the 14th century and has a basilical plan with three naves, three polygonal apses, stepped buttresses and pointed windows. From the original church, in Romanesque style, the corbels supporting the eaves survive, along with a few loose pieces scattered at various points in the building.
