The Castrelos church is the best preserved Romanesque temple in Vigo, alongside the ones in Bembrive and Coruxo. It was built in 1216 and has a single 65 feet long nave. Architecturally, it’s quite a unique church, due to the nave’s five windows and three beautiful round windows that illuminate the apse, which is accessed through a beautiful lancet arch.
Tips and recommendations:
Castrelos is one of Vigo’s neighbourhoods with the most activities to fill your day. You can arrange a morning route visiting the church, the park and the city museum and then walk along the Lagares River route, which will take you down to Vigo’s beaches.
