Church of Santo Estevo de Ribas de Miño

Monument · O Saviñao, Terra de Lemos, Lugo

Romanesque church built around the year 1200 and linked to the workshops of Master Mateo, in the parish of Santo Estevo de Ribas de Miño, municipality of O Saviñao. Its façade is dominated by a rose window four metres in diameter, one of the largest and finest in rural Galician Romanesque architecture. It was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) in 1931. Next to the church stands the Casa da Abadía, enclosed by a stone wall entered through a round-arched gateway, rectangular in plan and with a small chapel outside.
