Find out more about Church of San Cristovo de Corzón

Located on the Camino that leads from Santiago to Fisterra, this simple construction of a nave covered with a wooden truss, and which extends into a Romanesque main chapel, crowned by a barrel vault and entered through a semicircular triumphal arch supported by semi-attached half columns.

Externally we can highlight the purity of its volumetry, enhanced by a very careful stonework and by the absence of towered elements as the belfry was built away from the church, in a higher planimetric position and more suitable for its effectiveness of convocation.

The altarpieces are very interesting, both the side ones in Baroque style, and the main one, in neoclassical forms. The imagery, basically from the second half of the eighteenth century, completes this interesting set very worthily.
