Collegiate Church of San Salvador (Grandas de Salime)

The original church must have been small and dates back to the 12th century; later, during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, the tower, the portico, the transept chapels, the two sacristies and the nave between the entrance and the first arch were added.

The Romanesque doorway was preserved and is now embedded in a wall of the new church. It has four semicircular archivolts made up of mouldings and half-barrels with dust caps. The outer archivolts rest on three columns per side, with richly sculpted capitals that alternate vegetal decoration with human and animal figures, while the inner archivolt sits directly on the jamb, where two figures are carved.

The present church has a Latin cross, a single nave, transept with a dome on pendentives, square chancel and a quadriform tower at the base.

The most notable feature of the church, along with the doorway, is the main altarpiece, from the 18th century.
