Church of São Salvador de Bravães
Recognised as a masterpiece of Portuguese Romanesque art and classified as a National Monument, the church of São Salvador de Bravães is a monument of unquestionable regional historical importance and of exceptional archaeological and heritage value.
The current building, despite subsequent modifications, has held onto its original 12th century characteristics with the decorative adornment of the 15th and 16th centuries having also kept to the original balanced and harmonious proportions.

Basilica de San Isidoro
LEÓN (Spain): Basilica de San Isidoro.The Basilica de San Isidoro in León (aka the Royal Collegiate Church of St Isidore of Seville, León) started life as a simple monastery built in the 960s by King Sancho the Fat. The mark I buildings did not last long before being flattened by the awful al-Mansur (c938 - 1002 (64)) on his way to wipe out Santiago in the late 990s.
The monastery was rebuilt by Ferdinand I and his Queen, Sancha, consecrated in December 1063, and designated as the pantheon of the Kings of León, as well as being given the remains of San Isidore to look after. Later in the 1000s Princess Urraca extended the buildings put up by her parents, and the present day church and its narthex and museum date from this time.
