The church of Santiago de Mens is a Romanesque church built in the twelfth century in Mens, a parish in the municipality of Malpica de Bergantiños, located in the region of Bergantiños in the province of La Coruña.
Its construction dates back to the twelfth century and was carried out in three stages. From the first pre-Romanesque stage, the three naves are still preserved, which are divided by pillars that support semicircular arches. The apses were built in a second Romanesque phase and the main façade was remodelled in the third phase.
It is a basilica building made up of three naves divided into four sections in their original form, today reduced to three by a nineteenth-century reform. The naves end in three semicircular (lateral) and pentagonal (central) apses. On the outside they have semi-columns attached to four corners of the polygon. The apses are covered by semicircular barrel vaults topped with a quarter sphere. The arches are supported by rectangular pilasters, which support a gabled roof. The capitals and corbels are decorated with balls, vegetable, animal and human figures.
The façade is in the Baroque style, with a central body protruding on the sides, with a linteled door, topped with a bell tower of slender proportions, ending in a galloned lantern, supported by Ionic pilasters. The sides are finished in pinnacles.
