San Paio de Carreira
The parish church of San Paio in Carreira was probably built in 1717 over another Romanesque temple. All the neoclassical architectural precepts were preserved in the second construction: a beautiful transept and a statue of La Dolorosa by José Ferreiro. The original Baroque altarpiece was lost during a regrettable fire and the church tower was almost destroyed by lighting in 1818, although it was later restored.
