"Church with a large bell tower and beautiful decorations
Located in a setting steeped in history and charm, the Church of San Eusebio da Peroxa stands on an ancient hill fort near Ferreiros, in the municipality of Coles . From this height, the views extend toward the Miño and A Barra rivers, which separate Coles from A Peroxa, creating an environment that combines nature and heritage.
Built in the 13th century and expanded in the 19th century
This perfectly preserved Romanesque church stands out for its single nave and rectangular apse. Although it has undergone several modifications over the centuries , such as the lengthening of the nave to the west with a new Baroque façade in 1808 and the addition of a large sacristy to the south, its Romanesque essence remains intact. Due to its decorative elements and finishes, historians date the construction of this interesting church to the first quarter of the 12th century.
One of the most fascinating elements of this temple is its rich sculptural decoration . The cornices, supported by small semicircular arches and a collection of corbels, display unique details, from human figures to fantastic animals and plant motifs. These features, common in Ourense, reflect artistic influences that traveled from regions such as Burgundy and Poitou.
The interior is no less impressive. The triumphal arch and the column capitals feature unusual representations, such as biblical scenes and mythological figures. Despite its structural simplicity, the church's striking details are striking, revealing the skill and creativity of medieval stonemasons."
