Alongside the River Pereiro, in the parish that gives its name to the municipality, is this ecclesiastical complex; the church of Santa María de Teo, a stone cross and the cemetery.
The Church of Santa María dates from the 18th century. It has a virgin, in the central niche of the church’s façade (presumably made by the same craftsman as the adjacent stone cross) and a bell tower comprising a single wall with two bells.
At the rear of the building, barely preserved, are the remains of the old parish house, a centuries-old dwelling, with an impressive fireplace in the Compostelan style, and which was inhabited until the end of the 1970s.
Alongside the church is a stone cross that is, after the stone cross in Francos, the oldest in the Municipality. It is a 16th century “hoop” type creation (it has a piece that joins the capitel to the cross) and, according to the specialists, it could have been made by a great cross maker who worked in different areas of the Compostela region called “Juan de Santiago”.
This place is the starting point of a hiking trail that follows the Ulla riverbank from Teo to A Burga de Xermeade.
