Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassicist styles in one Cathedral. It is so beautiful! I am in love with Lugo and its monuments.

Reportedly the oldest church on the French Road of the Camino de Santiago, this pre-romanesque l sanctuary/chapel was built in the 9th century and restored in 1962. We visited on a fog shrouded day in late-February and were astounded by surprised by the sizable interior despite its thick walls, possibly because the sunken floors designed to provide protection against winter storms. Its simplicity awed us and imbued a sense of spirituality and meditation. The church has two chapels. The side chapel holds the tomb of D. Elías Valiña, parish priest of O Cebreiro (1959-89), and promoter of the Camino de Santiago. A third nave houses a large collection of Bibles in different languages, including braille and Cherokee. A separate room holds a large stone baptismal basin dating the 18th century. Across the baptistry, near the entrance, a clerk dutifully stamps pilgrims’ passports and sells votive candles.
