Religious Traditions

Religious motifs are an important part of the artistic and architectural heritage that you can contemplate in Northern Galicia.

This region is fortunate to have the oldest cathedrals in Spain, one “cathedral” is part of the landscape: Playa de As Catedrais (Cathedral Beach) and the other built by man: Basílica de San Martiño in Mondoñedo.

You can also find other temples of great importance such as the Cathedral in Mondoñedo, the San Xoán de Caaveiro Monastery, the Co-Cathedral San Xiao in Ferrol or the San Salvador Monastery in Lourenzá.

In addition, two of the most popular religious celebrations take place in this region during Easter week in Viveiro and Ferrol. These events have been declared internationally as of National Tourist Interest.
