Its most notable feature is its main altarpiece, made of granite \u2014 a rare choice for this type of structure. The central figure is a seated image of the Apostle Saint James, reminiscent of the stone sculpture in the sacristy of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, emphasizing the church&#8217;s link to the Camino.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The church has a rectangular floor plan with a central nave and a presbytery facing east. The spacious main chapel, covered by a barrel vault, was expanded in 1957 by adding two side aisles, increasing the building&#8217;s capacity. Its current wooden roof adds warmth to the interior. A two-tier bell tower rises on the southern wall, with rounded arches below and a pyramid-shaped upper level.   <\/p>\n\n<p>What makes this church truly exceptional is the silver reliquary it houses: it contains a bone fragment believed by local tradition to be the little finger of the Apostle Saint James. This relic is a rare treasure, as most remains of the Apostle are exclusively preserved in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Church of Santiago de A Ameixenda, located in the parish of the same name in Cee, is a remarkable Baroque temple built in the 18th century.
