Corona la fachada, una espadaña barroca de dos cuerpos y tres vanos de arco de medio punto, los dos vanos de abajo albergan una campana cada uno, quedando desierta la superior.

"La iglesia de Santa María de Ferreiros se encuentra en el Camino de Santiago francés y formaba parte de un antiguo monasterio que acogía a los peregrinos. Del recinto sólo se conserva la iglesia, con una monumental portada románica, con tímpano de dintel lobulado sobre ménsulas en cuya decoración resaltan las cabezas de león.
Este lugar está íntimamente ligado a los caballeros de la orden de San Juan, por lo que los feligreses quedaban exentos de pagar tributos al rey, no así al comendador de Portomarín, quien recibió rentas hasta la mitad del siglo XIX."

The façade is crowned by a two-story Baroque bell gable with three semicircular arched openings. The two lower openings each house a bell, while the upper one remains empty.

"The Church of Santa María de Ferreiros is located on the French Way of St. James and was part of an ancient monastery that welcomed pilgrims. Only the church remains of the complex, with a monumental Romanesque doorway, a tympanum with a lobed lintel on corbels decorated with lion heads.
This place is closely linked to the Knights of the Order of Saint John, so parishioners were exempt from paying taxes to the king, but not to the Commander of Portomarín, who received income until the mid-19th century."
