Santo Estevo de Ribas de Sil

Santo Estevo de Ribas de Sil. It was built between the 12th and the 18th century. The church has a basilica floor plan, spacious and proportionate. It conserves the Romanesque chevet with three apses, the central one being lower than the lateral ones, an unusual case in Galician Romanesque architecture. The façade of the church dates from the end of the 16th century or the beginning of the 17th century. In the upper part there is a simple oculus that gives light to the interior and ends in a niche inside which is the image of San Esteban. Inside the church, the altarpiece of the chapel stands out, a Renaissance work by Juan de Angés in the 16th century. © iStock / :Joaquin Ossorio-Castillo
