XIV century. Gothic with Romanesque reminiscences. The church was built in the fourteenth century following the canons of mendicant architecture. It consists of three naves separated by semicircular arches and a stylized main chapel with high windows and a ribbed vault. Through the convent you can access its interior, in which the four Gothic tombs located on both sides of the altar, the Virgins with the Child from the fifteenth century and the chapel of the Rosary, which contains Baroque altarpieces made by Pedro Taboada and Francisco Castro Canseco, stand out. Of great interest is the Pantheon of Galicia, located in a side chapel of the church, where, among others, Rosalía de Castro, Castelao, Alfredo Brañas, Ramón Cabanillas and Francisco Asorey rest. For this reason, this temple is a place associated with Galician memory. The cloister houses an interesting Gothic transept. It is currently used as a venue for exhibitions and concerts.
