Church of Santa Eufemia, Ourense, Parish church in central Ourense, Spain
The church features three longitudinal naves with a Latin cross layout and houses a substantial Baroque altar with the Cristo de la Esperanza centerpiece.
Construction of Santa Eufemia began in the mid-17th century as a Jesuit school church, transitioning to a parish church in 1767 following the Jesuits' departure.
The granite facade, designed by Brother Plácido Iglesias, represents Galician Baroque architecture with its curved lines, giant columns, and pinnacles.
Located at Calle Lamas Carvajal 11, the church stands as the second largest religious building in Ourense after the cathedral.
The concave facade design accommodates the narrow street while maintaining visibility, with the current St Euphemia Square created after the church construction.
