Igrexa de Santiago de Bembrive

Igrexa de Santiago de Bembrive, Romanesque church in Bembrive, Spain

The Santiago de Bembrive church features a single nave with a decagonal apse, three entrances, and columns adorned with Celtic-inspired decorative elements.

Built between the late 12th and early 13th centuries, the church stands on the site of an earlier monastic temple, as suggested by the name Mosteiro.

The church holds religious ceremonies on July 25th, celebrating Santiago el Mayor, the patron saint of both the parish and Galicia.

Located in the outskirts of Vigo municipality, the church maintains its original Romanesque architecture with Gothic modifications added in later periods.

The northern entrance displays a tympanum with a four-pointed Celtic cross design, accompanied by spiral patterns and circular motifs.
