Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles

San Vicente’s outstanding monument is the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, commissioned by Alfonso VIII in 1210. Though mostly Gothic, it sports a pair of impressive Romanesque doorways. Inside, the eerily lifelike statue of 16th-century Inquisitor Antonio del Corro (reclining on one elbow, reading) is deemed one of the best pieces of funerary art in Spain. Behind the church, there are lovely views along the Escudo estuary to the distant Picos de Europa.
