Monastery of San Salvador de Celanova

[failed verification] The jewel of the complex is the small Mozarabic chapel of San Miguel, dating from 942.

In the abbey church are the ancient sepulchres of Ilduara and Adosinda, the mother and sister of the founder, who was buried in a sepulchre supported on four pillars, and constructed after the fashion of that of San Torcuato, one of the companions of Santiago.

His body was deposited by the Christians, at the Moorish invasion, at Santa Coinba, 10 miles (16 km) away.

Being near the frontier, some Portuguese carried it off and brought it to Celanova, whose bells began to ring of their own accord.

The Doric church has two separate choirs, featuring a carved door and walnut silleria.
