Church of Santa María a Nova de Noia

The Church of Santa María a Nova consists of a single nave with a wooden roof supported by pointed arches divided into four sections.

Archbishop Berenguel de Landoira commissioned the construction of this church in 1327, replacing an earlier 12th-century religious structure in the center of Noia.

The church houses one of the largest collections of medieval sepulchral stones, featuring carved designs from the fourteenth through nineteenth centuries.

The building now functions as a museum, offering visitors access to historical artifacts and architectural elements from different periods throughout the day.

The main entrance displays a tympanum with remnants of original polychrome, depicting the Adoration of the Kings alongside Bishop Landoira and Saint Joseph.
