Church of Santa Mariña do Castro de Amarante

Monument · Antas de Ulla, Ulloa, Lugo

A church raised on a small promontory that more than two thousand years ago was home to a hillfort settlement, from which Castro de Amarante takes its name; of Romanesque origin, it appears today as a 16th- and 17th-century structure with later additions and refurbishments. It gives its name to the parish of Santa Mariña do Castro de Amarante, which became the capital of the municipality of Antas de Ulla and also preserves the pazo of Santa Mariña, the cruceiro of Frádegas and the Frádegas spa. The Festas do Cristo, held on the first Sunday of August, are renowned throughout the comarca.
