Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Expectação / Igreja Matriz de Valada
Located practically on one of the banks of the Tagus River, the Parish Church of Valada is very old, probably dating back to 1211. It has undergone several renovations over the years, the last of which took place at the beginning of the 20th century. The façade is of Mannerist religious architecture, with an angular gable and a bell tower. Inside, the 16th-century baptismal font stands out, without a shaft or base, while the nave walls have 19th-century patterned tiles.
