Igreja Matriz de Barcelos
A transitional temple exhibiting Romanesque and Gothic influences, with modifications in the 16th and 17th centuries. The portal has four archivolts, with eight small columns resting on capitals, and the nave walls are covered with blue and white tile panels from the 18th century, depicting episodes from the life of the Virgin Mary. Of particular note are the Blessed Sacrament chapel with its 18th-century gilded woodcarving and the chancel with two valuable sculptures: one of Our Lady of the Assumption in Baroque style and another representing Our Lady of Franqueira.
