St. Domingo Church
Church
Historical heritage
Its church was built in the Gothic style, characteristic of the first times of this mendicant order. It has two magnificent Baroque reredoses from the 18th century.
The largest one, by the hand of the Redondela-born artist Antonio del Villar, stands out in its grandeur. In the South end of the transept, the other one, dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary, displays at the top a peculiar depiction of the Battle of Lepanto. This church and its convent (although not much of the architecture of the latter remains) were the mausoleum of the local noble families: the Soutomaiores, the Correas, the Ozores, etc.
