It is an austere church that houses the patron saint of the town. The current Santa Eulalia of Arealonga church is located over the old church with the same name. We know of its existence because it is named in documents that go as far as 912. The church is located in the original emplacement of the village and its building was promoted by the archbishop of Santiago de Compostela Fernando de Andrade y Sotomayor. It was joined to the convent and the Vista Alegre palace until the late 19th century by a bridge that crossed the marsh and also served as a way to Cambados. Its main façade has a door with a lintel framed by pilasters and a curved parted pediment with a semicircular arch.
