Pantón - San Fiz de Cangas

This church belonged to a Benedictine convent. Monastic life was maintained in San Fiz until the reform at the end of the 15th century, when the nuns were forced to move to a convent in Santiago.

The church was remodelled several times.


The tympanum is decorated with reliefs that represent the Sun and the Moon with a Greek cross in the center, under which an eight-pointed star and some concentric rectangles are represented. Some scholars ardue, that these stones are much older than 12th century. These may be reused funeral stones.
