Church of Santa María in Melide

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of Santa María de Melide, listed as a National Monument, is the jewel of Romanesque Melide. It is a temple with a single nave ending in a semicircular apse at its head, with a shell vault, decorated with Renaissance paintings.

The triumphal arch is half-pointed and bent. The left capital is decorated with vegetal elements. The right is figurative: with open jaws, which within the Romanesque iconography seems to symbolize the fight of man against evil. The triumphal arch was closed by an iron gate from the 13th century, which is the only Romanesque gate that is preserved in Melide.

Catasol Pass

Highlight • Bridge

A nice bridge made with large granite stones directly set on the stream bed. All this within a lush forest that creates a most desirable setting to rest for a while listening to the running water.

The Ribadiso bridge is located next to the recreational area of the fluvial beach of the Iso river. Not only is the setting beautiful, but it also offers pilgrims a great opportunity to cool off and relax before moving on.
