Santuário de Nossa Senhora do Castelo
Where the medieval fortification once stood, the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora do Castelo was installed. The chapel replaced a previous one from the 14th century. With baroque and neoclassical characteristics, this monument attracts attention due to the tower raised above the façade. Its finishes are in stonework, comprising a nave, a sacristy and a meeting room. The interior also shows an elegant chancel, whose neoclassical altarpiece in gilded and white carving rises on high steps. The interior tile panels depict episodes from the life of the Virgin.
