Tips
Near the church is the neo-Gothic cemetery of Goiriz, located on the North Way to Santiago de Compostela. This cemetery, built in the 16th century and renovated in the 18th, is a jewel of the neo-Gothic style. Its niches are crowned by elaborate pinnacles carved in stone, finished with crosses made by the Stonemasons of Román. Although it shows the wear and tear of time, its special charm lies in its antiquity and the contrast with the new expansion that took place at the beginning of the 20th century. The cemetery is very well preserved and is located at kilometer 619 of national highway 634.

Very interesting and very old cemetery. Reminds me a bit of a city with towers.
