The center of the pedestrianized center is the Church of San Martiño on Praza do Tapal. The beautiful portal of the church, consecrated in 1432, is somewhat reminiscent of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.

St. Martin's Church dates back to the 14th century, but was built in the Romanesque style, based on the famous cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.⛪️

They also wanted to build a second church tower on top of it. The clergy in Santiago forbade them from doing so. Only the cathedral in Santiago should have this as a unique selling point. And they were told: if they dared to do it, something terrible would happen.
When someone wanted to put a second tower made of paper on top of it, it fell down and died. A small red cross was painted on the spot where the person died. Since then, St. Martin's Church has also been called the "cursed" church because it was cursed.
