The fine three-order doorway, left-hand side.


The first time we were here was on June 5th June, 2001, the second one was on May 17th, 2002 and we are still amazed by this nice little church.
The first church in this site was built by St. Farannán, but the present building dates from 12th century. The doorway has a Romanesque style, and although it's been denuded of most of the stones, it still shows its personality.
The tympanum had a curious decoration but it was removed two centuries ago and there aren't clues of its present location.
The church has a padlocked gate but with some skills I took some photos of the inside.
