Church of San Salvador de Manín, Parish church in Manín, Spain.

The Church of San Salvador de Manín features a Latin cross layout with a single nave divided into three sections and a prominent crossing tower.

Built in 1764 during the tenure of Abbot Damián Vélez de la Llana, the church underwent two complete relocations to protect it from rising reservoir waters.

The main altarpiece displays intricate relief sculptures, while the sacristy doors feature depictions of Adam and Eve surrounded by atlas figures supporting wooden structures.

Visitors can access the church by following a paved road for 950 meters from the OU-540 highway after passing through the village of Compostela de Lobios.

Known locally as the traveling church, the entire structure was dismantled stone by stone in 1992 and rebuilt at its current location in La Travesa.
