Church of San Xoán da Cova

Monument · Carballedo, Chantada, Lugo

Image of Carballedo, not of the place itself.

Old Romanesque monastery on the bank of the Miño, one of the two monastic temples the concello preserves along with Chouzán. It had to be dismantled and rebuilt up the slope by Pons Sorolla on account of the building of the dam, and in the move one of its side chapels was lost. The two surviving versions disagree over which reservoir was responsible: one attributes it to the Os Peares dam and the other to the rising waters of the Belesar reservoir.
