Iglesia de San Salvador de Corujo

The church features three semicircular apses, with the central apse being taller and wider than the lateral ones, following Romanesque design principles.

Originally built in the 12th century, the church started as a Benedictine monastery under Alfonso VII of León until its conversion to a parish church in the 14th century.

The church interior contains granite stone vaults in the apses, supported by imposts that divide each section into two vertical bodies.

Located on A Igrexa Road in Camposancos 284, the church stands 4 kilometers from Vigo's urban center and includes a courtyard with ancient crosses.

The church maintains original arrow slit windows in its lateral apses, decorated with archivolts and small columns that demonstrate medieval craftsmanship.
