Iglesia Parroquial de Sal Salvador de Vilanova dos Infantes

The Parish Church of San Salvador de Vilanova dos Infantes is a religious temple of parochial character, located in the historic center of Vilanova dos Infantes, in the municipality of Celanova, province of Ourense, Galicia, at coordinates 42.16594, -7.95623. It is part of the heritage landscape of this medieval village, linked to the local historical complex and the traditional environment preserved around the old fortress and the reconstructed tower of the place. From the information available in the sources consulted, it is a church or hermitage dedicated to San Salvador, integrated in a rural enclave of high historical value. I have not found in the sources provided a precise architectural dating or a stylistic ascription sufficiently contrasted, so it is not appropriate to fix with certainty a century or specific style without additional verification. The patrimonial interest of the building is understood within the historical evolution of Vilanova dos Infantes, a settlement of medieval appearance whose identity is marked by the preservation of the traditional farmhouse, the tower and the urban ensemble. The church acts as a religious and neighborhood reference within this cultural landscape, maintaining the relationship between worship, population and historical memory of the place.
