Castle´s Church of St. Mary

Castle´s Church of St. Mary
An authentic Gothic church, dating from the 14th century, it stands on the site where the Arabs had built a castle.

The doorway exhibits five archivolts.

Inside there are three naves supported by pillars decorated with naturalistic elements.

A bell-tower, erected in the 17th century, surmounts the nave on the south side.

At the summit there are three windows and also an eye-window.

Nowadays, apart from being a place of worship, the Igreja de Santa Maria do Castelo is one of the region´s main tourist attractions.
