Find out more about Church of Santa Baia de Brens

The Church of Santa Baia de Brens, located in the parish of Brens (Cee), is a remarkable example of Galician rural religious architecture. Originally built in the 18th century, the church has undergone several renovations and expansions, including a major one in 1956, which added a three-nave basilica layout.

Its main structure features a rectangular chancel covered with a stone barrel vault. Inside, the main altarpiece stands out, showcasing decorative elements linked to the Baroque style of Simón Rodríguez and Casas e Novoa, two renowned Compostela artists.

At the center of the altarpiece is the sculpture of Saint Eulalia (Santa Baia), crowned in silver and holding the palm of martyrdom and a book — one of the most valuable Baroque religious artworks preserved in the municipality of Cee.
