A Coruña's Religious Heritage

A Coruña’s religious architecture spans from the 12th-century Romanesque Igrexa de Santiago, the city's oldest temple, to modern neighborhood parishes. These sites highlight the city's spiritual evolution, featuring the Romanesque-Baroque transition at San Vicenzo de Elviña and the historical significance of Santa María de Oza, once part of a medieval leper colony. The collection includes central neoclassical landmarks and quiet suburban chapels like Santa Icía, reflecting the community heritage across the municipality.
