Set back above the broad Praza da Ferrería, the Igrexa de San Francisco was, according to local lore, founded in the 13th century by St Francis of Assisi while on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Only the main portico remains from the original church: the rest is 14th century. Inside are several tombs and funerary chapels of medieval noble families, and some pretty stained glass.
