Rodeiro - Igrexa de San Vicente
San Vicente is the parish of the municipality of Rodeiro. The first documentary mention of Rodeiro dates back to 1368, the church may .be a century older.
The floor plan consists of a single rectangular nave and an apse connected by a triumphal arch. The walls are made of granite blocks laid in stone in regular rows. The upper part of the west façade was altered in modern times when the bell tower was rebuilt and replaced by a baroque tower.
There are some interesting corbels under the roof.
This one shows a male exhibitionist. The genitals of such sculptures were often cut off in the later Puritan period, here it has been preserved.
