Bembrive Romanic Church

  • BUILT: 12th Century
  • ADDRESS: Parroquia de Bembrive

This church has undergone several alterations throughout its history. Stonework on the walls indicates that there may have been a smaller building on the site previously.

The design of the church is in one single nave, with a semi-circular apse on the inside and semi-decagonal shaped on the inside.

The main doorway has two moulded archivolts and a vault.

On the southern wall an interesting carving shows human figures underneath two small arches with twisted Salmonic columns, possibly dating from Roman times.
