The Church of Saint Martin of Mouros, a monument that stands out within the Portuguese Romanesque, is quite impressive due to the robustness of its tower-façade. However, despite its military appearance, it only served religious purposes. Its construction may have been hindered for several years, resulting in the interruption of the original project, which, supposedly, had three naves and whose beginning corresponds to the interior of the tower-façade. Inside, highlight goes to the chancel that suffered major changes in the Modern Period. This monument is part of the Route of the Romanesque.
5. Monastery of Saint Mary of Carquere
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 21 reviews
Cárquere, the pantheon of the Resendes lineage, has a few elements from its original Romanesque structure: a tower and a crevice on the pantheon. Here we find one of the most peculiar themes in the Portuguese Romanesque style: the beak-heads. Although the Church's interior grew based on a medieval structure, it is the result of the Gothic and Mannerist interventions that left us the chancel's ribbed vault, as well as the main and north lateral portals. This Monastery is part of the Route of the Romanesque.

8. Douro Adventure
Nature experiences with experienced and specialized guides. River experiences like boat trips and kayaking. Pedestrian routes.
9. Igreja de Santa Maria de Barro
This is a Church of Romanesque origin, but whose structure and decoration already herald the arrival of the Gothic style; inside are the most important remains of the medieval building, including the series of capitals of the triumphal arch, which narrate hunting scenes.
