Igreja de São Vicente de Sousa
This temple represents a good example of the Romanesque style, with a single nave and a rectangular transept. Inside, it features baroque carvings on the main altar and statuary in the same style. The antiquity of this building is confirmed by two inscriptions on the walls, both from the Romanesque period. 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 in the thickness of a wall). Therefore, it is the oldest recorded example of a similar funerary structure.
