Colegiata de Cangas de Morrazo, Renaissance church building in Cangas, Spain.

The Colegiata de Cangas de Morrazo features three naves divided by Ionic columns and incorporates decorative gargoyles along the perimeter of its roofs.

The construction of the church began in the 16th century, and Pope Paul III elevated it to the status of Collegiate Church in 1545.

The sculptural decoration of the facade portrays biblical themes, including the Annunciation and angel figures carved into the frontispiece.

The church contains a pipe organ from 1924, donated by José Félix Soage Villarino, with two keyboards, pedals, and twelve registers.

The main chapel houses a baroque altarpiece from 1744, while the lateral chapels contain carvings of significant artistic value.
