Romanesque church built in the middle of the 12th century. After the successive reformation works carried out in it, there are very few traces of the original construction. According to Bango Torviso, the portal that we see nowadays on the Southern wall was previously located on the Western side. In other of the portals of this church there was one of the seven tympanums that exist in Galicia portraying the scene of Samson ripping apart a lion. Since January 2005, it is exhibited in the Museum of Pontevedra after it was auctioned several times. The last one in an art gallery in Milan, according to Francisco Rubia, passing as a French artwork from the 11th century.
