Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom
Built in 1778, its location is such that it is externally one of the most impressive churches in Pontevedra, facing onto the Pza da Peregrina. A stopping point for pilgrims who were having their documents stamped here, the church plan is in the shape of a scallop shell and the shells are incorporated into much of the decoration. Otherwise, compared to some of the other churches, the decoration is quite restrained, with your eyes drawn upwards into the dome, and thence to heaven.
