Find out more about Church of San Fins de Anllóns

The church of San Fins de Anllóns is in Baroque style, although its origin is Romanesque. From its primitive construction it preserves its simple portico with Corinthian capitals, the corbels that protrude from the side eaves, the pavement of the atrium and the presbytery that shelters a Baroque altarpiece. The belfry that houses the famous bells of Anllóns is also baroque.

Eduardo Pondal, the poet of Bergantiños, referred to these bells in his best-known poem “A Campana d’Anllóns” published in Galician in 1862, a poem that sighs for the lost homeland.

“Bell, if you will see
you see light in Ponteceso
a cachela de San Xoan
Tell everyone I’m in prison
we dungeons of Oran”
