Church of Santiago Apóstol (Castropol)

Castropol was one of the last milestones on the Jacobean pilgrimage route in Asturias, to the point that one of the side doors of this temple is called the ''French door''.

It has three naves, the central one wider and higher, separated by columns and covered by starred vaults. At the foot is the tower (added in the 19th century), very high (it dominates the whole village) and quadrangular, with a slate spire topped by a spire. The lower floor forms an open portico that houses the doorway.

The temple conserves a good set of Baroque altarpieces: in the left nave, at the foot, one from the first half of the 18th century, with a body divided into three sections separated by Solomonic columns, and the one in the chapel of the Marquesa, from the middle of the 18th century, gilded and polychrome, commissioned by the Marquises of Santa Cruz, which is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin. The Montenegro chapel, from the 17th century, houses the family pantheon, with its noble coats of arms.
