Its history and tradition place this temple with one foot in the Middle Ages and the other in the Renaissance. Its artistic design responds to a very Galician style: Maritime Gothic. This style is typical of coastal Galicia in the 14th-15th centuries. It is a style that is halfway between the Romanesque, now obsolete, and the Gothic of the great cathedrals. The pointed arches and light entrances stand out in the apse of Santiago do De\u00e1n, in a curved shape giving a sense of circular movement. The nave of the church has pointed arches supported by pillars with capitals that depict elements from the apocalyptic bestiary. The apse and central nave can be dated to the end of the 14th and beginning of the 15th century, the peak of the Maritime Gothic artistic style. The diamond of this jewel is the 16th century Alba Chapel (built around 1579), in Renaissance style, which represents a mosaic of human existence based on the Christian fact; it is a clear Galician example of an altarpiece not in wood, but in stone. Pincheiro has been working for years on this jewel and offers its clients a unique audiovisual project in its virtual classroom to be able to enter into the meaning and depth of this jewel of Pobra and in this way its clients can then visit it and understand it. This programme includes an overview of other valuable works in this church and an overview of the tradition of the shrouds in this church of the De\u00e1n.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div>\n <\/div>\n [\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”{}” background_offset_bottom=”220px” uniqid=”60807b6d52cfb”][vc_column]

SANTA MAR\u00cdA DO CARAMI\u00d1AL<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Another jewel of the Baroque side of Pobra can be found in the temple of Carami\u00f1al, built by the lord of the town, G\u00f3mez P\u00e9rez de las Mari\u00f1as y Xunqueiras, Marquis of Xunqueiras, a knight and hero who fought with the troops of King Philip II in the battle of San Quint\u00edn against the French, from which Spain emerged victorious on 10 August 1557.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

G\u00f3mez P\u00e9rez, emulating the action of the king, on his arrival at Villa del Carami\u00f1al in 1560, promoted the construction of the church in Villa del Carami\u00f1al, a place to which he had given the title of Villa in 1554. Work began on the apse and the walls of the central nave. Once the Renaissance apse was finished, the work was halted for many years until 1702, when it was inaugurated by means of its consecration before the Marquises of Parga, lords of the town, whose coats of arms emblazoned the church. Architecturally, therefore, this temple has one foot in the Renaissance (apse) and the other in the Baroque (central nave), a good example of which is its magnificent Baroque altar in the apse (1700), one of the best in the diocese of Santiago in this artistic style. Another jewel of the church is the altar of the Carmen de los Pincheiros (Neoclassical Precious), and the works promoted by the patronage of the resent Catalans in the Arenal district (Neo-Baroque). The fa\u00e7ade of the church has a triangular pediment on which is the image of the Virgin with the images of St. Peter and St. Paul on either side. Pincheiro AT has a charming virtual route in its digital classroom about this environment linked to the Pincheiro sailors and the industrialisation of Pobra by the Catalans, so that customers can get to know this reality through digital media and visit it.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div>\n <\/div>\n [\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”{}” background_offset_bottom=”220px” uniqid=”60807b84f8d8d”][vc_column]

SANTA MAR\u00cdA DO XOBRE<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
It is a church with a single nave, the apse with a stone barrel vault built in the second half of the 18th century. Baroque fa\u00e7ade with the coat of arms of the house of Xunqueiras and the images of the Virgin and Saint Joseph.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Part of the church’s imagery comes from this convent and reflects the Franciscan tradition, but also from the church before it in the 18th century. Two polychrome images of St. Peter and St. Paul and the image of St. Anthony from the convent, sculpted in granite stone, stand out. The fa\u00e7ade is of later work and belongs to the 18th century.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div>\n <\/div>\n [\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”{}” background_offset_bottom=”220px” uniqid=”60807b9798fa8″][vc_column]

SAN ISIDORO DE POSTMARCOS<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
The importance of this parish dates back to the Swabian period, which is why it gave its name to the archpriesthood of the district.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The composition of the bell tower (19th century) and the image of San Isidoro de Sevilla at the head of the entrance door are striking.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div>\n <\/div>\n [\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”{}” background_offset_bottom=”220px” uniqid=”60807ba3d21d4″][vc_column]

SANTA CRUZ DE LES\u00d3N<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Together with San Isidoro, this church in Les\u00f3n traces its origins to very primitive times. The first reference to this parish dates back to the year 814, which tells us of a small church in Les\u00f3n.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Nothing remains of the old building, as the present church was built in 1906 on the site of an old Romanesque church. In the Middle Ages (9th-11th centuries) the important population centres of Pobra were located in the interior of the mountain slopes, separated from the sea by the fear of invasions and plundering from the sea.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div>\n <\/div>\n [\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
