Description

Installed in the naves of the Basílica of San Martiño de Mondoñedo, which was the Episcopal Seat of the current diocese of Mondoñedo, between 870 and 1113. It is an unusual for a Galician Romanesque building, in which the Asturian, Lombard, Visigoth and Swabian styles have clearly had an influence. It contains religious objects, highlights among which are a 11th-century bishop?s staff and gold ring, which is given to the faithful to kiss on the festival of Don Gonzalo (last Sunday in November), who was known as ?O Bispo Santo?, or ?the Holy Bishop.?
Temporary information: Temporarily closed to the public. Possible change of venue to the lower floors of the Rectory.
