This graceful church is a masterpiece of Romanesque simplicity: sober granite with largely Gothic modifications. Work started in the 11th century on the site where three martyrs — Vicente and his sisters Sabina and Cristeta — were slaughtered by the Romans. The canopied cenotaph is an outstanding piece of Romanesque style.
