Church with a Latin cross layout and Gothic architecture. It was part of the convent of San Francisco. It suffered serious structural damage during the War of Independence and was used as a barracks and stable.

XIII. Although in the 16th century it was completely renovated in Gothic style. During the Napoleonic invasion it was looted and burned. It was declared a Historical-Artistic Monument in 1931.

Beautiful Gothic style church.
Its apse and the sobriety of its main altar would stand out.

A beautiful church, one of those that seems built and 'furnished', so that its parishioners feel at home. The stained glass windows deserve consideration and the imagery is beautiful, without ostentation. The representation of the family, in a small chapel, in the right apse, could be improved. Captivates and moves due to its naturalness.
I loved.

The current parish temple of San Pedro was once the Franciscan conventual church. Of Gothic construction, although with parts of Romanesque tradition, its construction dates back to the end of the 14th century and the beginning of the 16th century, although tradition has it that Saint Francis founded it on his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in the 13th century.
In 1931 it was declared a Site of Cultural Interest and the rest of the convent serves as the Provincial Museum of Lugo.
Its main façade is formed by a triple pointed archivolt with geometric decoration. This set is supported by three pairs of columns (one pair much narrower than the other two) with capitals decorated with plant motifs. On its sides you can see various geometric figures engraved in the stone.
