The church of San Tirso in Palas del Rei, dedicated to Saint Thyrsus or Thyrsus, was mentioned in the Caelicolae and is always worth a visit because of its art-historical relevance.

Originally Romanesque, from the last third of the 12th century, only the cover of its original construction remains; it was reformed in 1955. The temple has a Latin cross floor plan with a rectangular nave, and two side chapels, in addition to the pentagonal presbytery. Next to the door, which has a semicircular arch and two archivolts on decorated capitals, there is an image of the Virgen del Socorro. The altarpiece of the main chapel is neoclassical in style.
