Lourenzá (Galician pronunciation: [lowɾenˈθa]) is a municipality in the province of Lugo, in the autonomous community of Galicia in northwestern Spain.

It is the site of the monastery of San Salvador.[4] The façade of its church is said to have been a prototype for that of Santiago de Compostela Cathedral.
