San Xulián de Requeixo Church

San Xulián de Requeixo Church

A simple medieval church at the foot of the Portuguese Way which, despite having undergone renovations, retains its Romanesque character.

The year of completion of this church is known for certain: 1116. It was built on the orders of the well-known Bishop Xelmírez. Its twelve corbels are particularly noteworthy, featuring motifs such as monster heads. Like many medieval churches, it has undergone various alterations over the years but retains its original structure of a single rectangular nave built of thick ashlar, without an apse.
