Lourosa

Oliveira do Hospital

This town's main attraction is the Mozarabic church, the only one on the Peninsula, which attests to the town's antiquity, predating the Christian reconquest. Also of great cultural interest are the remains of medieval anthropomorphic tombs, some Roman and perhaps Visigothic. Also, noteworthy are the pillory (a Property of Public Interest) and several sunny houses from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Avô
3400, Avô

Oliveira do Hospital

The name of this village originated in Couto de Avão, because there was no bridge over the Alva River and the Moura Stream, so the old town could only be entered by fording (ad vadum). The warrior-poet Brás Garcia Mascarenhas, author of the epic poem "Viriato" (18th century), lived here. This land was inhabited by the Romans, perhaps the founders of the ruined castle. Among the monuments, the main church, presumably commissioned by King Afonso Henriques, is noteworthy, as is a 16th-century manor house, a pillory, and a chapel.

From the ancient Roman city, a perfect round arch with a rusticated structure supported by strong pillars, the Roman amphitheater, several tombstones, and other remains of significant interest remain.

Largo do Monumento Nacional

Oliveira do Hospital

Its pre-Romanesque origins make this church a rare example in Portugal. This Mozarabic temple reflects the diversity of influences it experienced during the First Reconquista. The uniqueness of this church also stems from the reused Roman, Visigothic, and Arab materials, and the monumentality of the galilee and the three naves with horseshoe arches.
