7. Chapel of Our Lady of Deliverance of Fandinhaes
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 4 reviews
The existing Chapel, dedicated to the Virgin of Deliverance was once the main church of the parish of Saint Martin of Fandinhães. Its location, away from communication routes and populated areas close to the Douro valley led to the transfer and creation of a new parish seat in Paços de Gaiolo. So, we are left with the memory of this Romanesque structure, which, either dismantled or designed, shows curious details of the medieval stonemasons' artistic work. This Chapel is part of the Route of the Romanesque.
8. Church of Santa Maria
9. Memorial of Alpendorada
Overall Ratings
3.0 based on 1 reviews
Being part of a series of typically Portuguese remembrance monuments that possibly date back to the 13th century, of which only six examples remain, the Memorial of Alpendorada stands out for its good state of repair. Although it doesn't have any inscriptions, this funerary monument with a double mortuary cavity is known to have been built to pay homage to a knight, as indicated by the sword engraved on the plinth that serves as a base for the arch.
10. Igreja do Salvador do Tabuado
While sources attest the existence, in the 12th century, of two temples in Tabuado, one dedicated to Saint Mary and another one to the Saviour, the latter seems to have won out as the leading patron. This was, however, erected later on, probably in mid 13th century, according to the proto-Gothic rosette in the main façade and other ornamental elements of the building.
