"The Co-Cathedral of Vigo, popularly known as La Colegiata, is one of the best examples of religious architecture in Vigo, an example of neoclassical art in Galicia and the most important temple in the city. Located in the heart of Vigo's historic centre, it was built in 1811 on top of another church. The temple, commissioned by Melchor de Prado y Mariño, has a basilica projection with 3 naves and a façade with simple ornamentation, on the right-hand side of which the Sundial stands out. As it does not face south, as is usual, it is considered a unique piece.
The Church of Santa María houses the image of the Christ of Victory, undoubtedly the most important religious symbol of Vigo: it goes out in procession on the first Sunday in August, attracting tens of thousands of faithful. It is also the first celebration of the Vigo Festivals."
