Igreja Matriz

Igreja Matriz
Built in the 16th century, the Mother Church of Alvito was influenced by the Gothic and Manueline styles.

In the shape of a Latin Cross, the exterior is crowned by turrets and battlements that give it a grim aspect.

The portal has a pointed arch of Gothic style, but the gargoyles are medieval.

Inside there are three naves; the central one stands on a higher level.

The Baroque carved wood-work of the main altar enhances the ornamented columns.

The walls have 17th-century decorated tiles.
