Igrexa de San Miguel de Bouzas, Catholic church in Bouzas, Vigo, Spain.

The rectangular building features a semicircular apse, gabled roof, and a bell tower positioned on one side of the granite facade with heraldic emblems.

English privateers led by Francis Drake destroyed the previous church in 1589, leading to a reconstruction commissioned by Captain Alvaro Correa in 1596.

The interior houses religious artworks including the Christ of the Afflicted statue and paintings depicting scenes of miraculous fishing events.

The church maintains regular services within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tui-Vigo and stands near the Adro beach area.

Originally built on a small peninsula extending into the sea, the church now sits inland due to land reclamation projects.
