Igreja Matriz de Vila Nova de Cerveira / Igreja de São Cipriano

Also known as the Church of São Cipriano and of 16th century origin, the Main Church of Vila Nova de Cerveira is located on the main street of the town, consisting of three naves, two bell towers, a chancel and a main altarpiece, in the Baroque style, by master Veríssimo Barbosa. Pay attention to the details of the tabernacle, surrounded by angels and flanked by two quadrangular niches with sculptures representing the Adoration of the Magi and the scene of the Last Judgment. Topping this complex is an interesting throne supporting the Holy Eucharist. Also know that the current appearance of this temple was due to the renovation of the 18th century and the rebuilding of 1881, due to the serious damage caused by a storm in 1877.
