Templo Votivo do Mar

The temple incorporates elements of Galician stone craftsmanship, megalithic structures, and Romanesque influences, reflecting the regional architectural traditions of northern Spain.

Located at coordinates 42°08'44"N 8°49'24"W, the church stands along the Portuguese coastal route of the Way of Saint James pilgrimage path.
