Santa María de Adina is one of the oldest churches in Galicia. The first church was built at the time of the rise of Christianity and was burned down by Almanzor at the end of the 10th century. In the 12th century, Archbishop Gelmírez ordered the reconstruction of the building. It was completely remodeled over two and a half centuries ago. The church was a bishop's seat and the first Marian church in the world.

The basilica "Igrexa Santa Maria Iria Flavia" is a Gothic church. When it is open, the pilgrim can stamp a stamp on his pilgrim pass. It is considered the second cathedral of Compostela and the first Marian temple in the world. The adjacent cemetery with an impressive collection of anthropomorphic sarcophagi is also home to the tomb of Nobel Laureate Camilo José Cela.
