Classified as a Property of Public Interest, the main church of Santiago de Bougado stands out on the north top of Largo do Souto da Lagoa. Inaugurated in 1762, it was ordered to be built at the expense of D. Diogo Mourato, Bishop of Miranda, who had been abbot here, having applied the proceeds from this abbey, accumulated over years, to its construction.
The cruise, located in the center of Largo do Souto, dates from 1857. On the north side of the cruise is the audience table of the former Brotherhood of Subsino. Originally located on the left side of the main door of the church, it was at this table that the confraternity assembly met. Until the division of civil competences of religious women, in the century. XIX, it was the Brotherhood of Subsino that represented the parish before the parish priest and outside entities, through an executive power composed of members who were elected by majority. This executive power included the judge, the clerk and the butlers.
