Built in the settlement of Rarís, this church has hidden charms both inside and outside.
It is a primitive church where both the façade of the temple and its bell tower catch the eye.
Notable on the outside is the presence of wall paintings of unknown chronology. Part of the mural is covered by a layer of whitewash where, with the passage of time as this material was detaching, human figures comprising scenes of unclear themes began to appear. In the north mural we can see what seems to be the risen Christ, identified by the wounds on his left hand and right side. The arrangement of the figures seems disordered and lacking continuity in the upper part, it would seem that these granite blocks were taken from an earlier construction.
Inside, there is a figure representing the archangel Saint Michael, who has enjoyed great devotion since the Middle Ages as commander-in-chief of the God’s armies in the fight against evil (Revelation 12:7-9). He is represented as a winged knight, with a chain mail shirt, bacinet, sword and shield bearing the legend. At his feet the Devil/Satan defeated throughout the battle. A Christianisation of the Roman god Mercury, he also becomes the messenger of heaven and leader of the dead.
