Neo-medieval style church, dating from the end of the 19th century and designed by the architect Domingo Rodríguez Sesmero.
The church honors Saint Thomas Becket. It is the only Galician temple dedicated to the holy archbishop of Canterbury and great chancellor of England (1118-70), assassinated inside its cathedral, at the foot of the altars, by courtiers of King Henry II of England.

In February 1173, Becket was canonized by Pope Alexander III. Over time, his shrine in the cathedral became a popular destination for pilgrims.
