Iglesia de Santa María la Mayor in Pontevedra is a prime example of Spanish Gothic architecture with plateresque influences. Commissioned by the city's Seamen's Guild in the 16th century, this church is renowned for its intricate façade, featuring detailed carvings of saints and maritime motifs. Inside, the church boasts impressive ribbed vaults and a beautiful altarpiece crafted by Cornelis de Holanda. For photo-travelers, the key sights include the rose window, the sculpted tympanum, and the exquisite cloister. Visit during late afternoon for the best natural lighting to capture the finely detailed stonework.
