San Miguel de Serín

The parish church of San Miguel is also very modified in terms of its architectural elements, but in exchange it presents what is possibly the set of most quality sculptural decoration of all those in the council. The three archivolts of the façade are decorated with usual motifs: broken lines, balls and spikes, but the capitals offer a theme of greater iconographic depth. They are zoomorphic representations, frequent in the medieval bestiary, which are related to the infernal world and represent vices and their punishments: birds that sting, animals with human faces, bearded monsters from whose mouths other animals emerge, masks, etc. Inside, the triumphal arch also has archivolts and capitals with a high quality carving and a similar theme.
