Church of Santa Comba de Carnota

The church of Santa Comba de Carnota was built in 1755 to replace an earlier, smaller Romanesque temple, and together with the parish's famous communal hórreo, the rectory and a circular dovecote, it forms a monumental ensemble unique in the area. With a Latin-cross plan and a classicist baroque air, with two side aisles, its high altar is presided over by a retable by the sculptor José Ferreiro, and in the 19th century the tall tower that crowns it today, attributed to Carlos Aboy, was added.
