Church of San Martiño de Gargantáns

Monument · Moraña, Caldas, Pontevedra

A twelfth-century Romanesque church, one of the oldest buildings in the municipality of Moraña, which retains its original apse. It stands in the parish of Gargantáns, next to the menhir of the Lapa, a stone almost two metres tall dated between 3000 and 2000 BC, whose base appears to have been cut, suggesting that it was moved, and whose surface shows several carved cup-marks; the stone went on to give the municipality the emblem of its coat of arms.
