Of modest proportions, this temple has a single nave and a rectangular chancel, highlighting the main portal which, made up of four archivolts with a round arch decorated with geometric and vegetal motifs, frames a tympanum filled with the typical hollow cross of the bracarense tradition.

  • heritage

Lugar de São Mamede
4615-463, Vila Verde

Felgueiras

This church is already mentioned in documents dating from 1220, as an integral part of the patronage of the Monastery of Santa Maria de Pombeiro. However, the current building has features of later Gothic influence, even though Romanesque construction was used. The chapel was probably built in the 13th century, when King Mendo de Sousa moved to Vila Verde. Today, evidence of frescoes by Mestre Arnaus can still be seen in the chancel, as weel as the plasterwork decorated with paintings in the nave.

Lugar do Agrelo
4610, Sendim

Felgueiras

Archaeological excavations carried out from 1997 onwards revealed the existence of a large Roman Villa with compartments paved in geometric mosaics. What is there is the equivalent of what is now called the Quinta. It was occupied until the middle of the 5th century, as the evidence on a brick found in the place where the sign of Solomon is engraved, shows. It is possible to find the houses of the slaves who worked in the fields and the communication routes so typical of the Romans.

Teresa. This monastic institution has been documented since 853, which makes it one of the oldest in the territory, although there is no material evidence of its first establishment. Located at the intersection of two of the main roads of medieval times, one that connected Porto to Trás-os-Montes and a second that connected Beira to Alto …

Igreja de Santa Maria de Airães

  • heritage

Lugar do Mosteiro
4650-078, Airães

Felgueiras

Although founded in the 11th century, the Romanesque building of this church only took place in the 13th and 14th centuries, when Gothic-inspired elements were also introduced, later suffering an extension to three naves and renovations in the 17th and 19th centuries. The portico with four archivolts retains its original features. The interior, whose appearance is the result of the reconstructions it underwent, is partially lined with 17th-century tiles. It is worth admiring the Romanesque portico, the three naves supported by powerful columns and the gilded statues.

The first, from 1214, commemorates the church's dedication and can be found on the outside of the nave's wall, while the second, from 1162 - the construction date of the original transept - is believed to be a funerary inscription or commemorating the construction of an arcosolium (tomb arranged …
