Benedictine monastery of San Vicente  | | Mosteiro Benedictino San Vicente do Pino |
Although their origins go back to the 10th century, the current construction begins in the 16th century. The harmonious square of the monastery building presents the neo-classical style, as much the front as the cloister. The impressive monacal church has a Renaissance front, while the interior is framed in the transitional gothic, with complicated vaults. A Baroque organ, in silence for decades, is placed in a lateral of the choir. At the recharged altar, it points up an interesting allegorical painting that represents the torture of San Vicente.
The monastery conserves a singular image of Santa Ana with Mary and Jesus Child, as well as an interesting Romanesque bas-relief, among other pieces of artistic relevance.
