Above the lintelled doorway of its <strong>five-sided fa\u00e7ade<\/strong>, a stone image of Saint Stephen stands among decorative mouldings and scrolls. The bell gable, added in the 1940s, completes a building shaped by generations of parish life. Nearby, the <strong>Santo Estevo fountain<\/strong> and the richly decorated <strong>Cruceiro do Sacramento<\/strong> stone cross form a small heritage ensemble best explored on foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside are <strong>five altarpieces<\/strong> from different periods. The main one, dated 1783, includes images of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Saint Anthony, Saint Roch and the patron saint. The southern <strong>Rosary chapel<\/strong> dates from the seventeenth century and retains a ribbed vault with Gothic echoes. Opposite it, the northern chapel was built in 1873 with funding from Fernando P\u00e9rez, a parish emigrant in Argentina. Further donations from across the Atlantic enriched the church, leaving an architectural record of the bonds connecting this Galician community with its emigrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before leaving, look closely at the carved figures and reliefs of the Cruceiro do Sacramento, one of Cabana&#8217;s most distinctive stone crosses. Together with the fountain and church, it offers a glimpse of Cesullas&#8217;s religious and communal past. The parish is also associated with <strong>Saturnino Cu\u00ed\u00f1as<\/strong>, a priest and collector of local folklore. His story is a reminder that heritage on the Costa da Morte lives not only in buildings but also in the traditions passed down through generations.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explore Santo Estevo de Cesullas church, its fountain and stone cross, in Cabana de Berganti\u00f1os.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":89049,"template":"","concellos-contenido":[310],"categorias-contenido":[248],"class_list":["post-88512","contenido","type-contenido","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","concellos-contenido-cabana-en","categorias-contenido-arquitectura-religiosa-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitacostadamorte.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contenido\/88512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitacostadamorte.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contenido"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitacostadamorte.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/contenido"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitacostadamorte.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitacostadamorte.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"concellos-contenido","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitacostadamorte.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/concellos-contenido?post=88512"},{"taxonomy":"categorias-contenido","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitacostadamorte.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categorias-contenido?post=88512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
