Church of Santa Comba de Bande, Visigothic church in Bande, Spain
The Santa Comba church features a Greek cross layout within a rectangular perimeter, with barrel vaults covering the nave and transept sections.
The religious structure dates from the 7th century and received national monument status in 1921 as the first building in Ourense with this designation.
The church served as a sanctuary for pilgrims traveling the Jacobean route from Braga, with monks providing spiritual and material assistance to travelers.
Located near the Roman site of Aquis Querquennis, the church contains multiple Roman elements, including a milestone repurposed as a baptismal font support.
The central dome rises through a tiered volume system, transitioning from the crossing to the main chapel through herringbone brick arrangements.
