Church of San Xoán de Laíño

Monument · Dodro, Sar, A Coruña

A Baroque church of simple lines completed around 1771, with a two-tier bell tower added later but well integrated into the structure. It preserves a main altarpiece already in a neoclassical taste, with the image of San Juan at its centre, a sign of the stylistic change that took place in the Sar district during the last third of the 18th century. It is one of the three main parish churches of the concello of Dodro, together with Santa María de Dodro and San Xián de Laíño, all built in the 18th century.
