23Cathedral of Ourense

Ourense · Galicia

Transitional between Romanesque and Gothic, it keeps the Pórtico do Paraíso, a polychrome echo of the Compostelan Pórtico da Gloria, and the venerated Santo Cristo de Ourense, a Gothic crucifix of deep devotion. A rich, shadowy interior of great expressive force.
