22Church of Santo Estevo de Ribas de Miño

O Saviñao · Galicia

On the slopes of the Miño, one of the peaks of Galician Romanesque, stylistically linked to the legacy of the Mestre Mateo. Its monumental façade, with a great rose window and an archivolt peopled with figures of musicians, evokes the iconography of the Pórtico da Gloria; the church also rests on a crypt that spans the steep slope of the terrain.
