Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Purificação
This is the main church of Pontével, a town located about five kilometers from the municipal seat. It is believed to have been founded in 1302 and has been rebuilt several times, most recently in the 17th century. Some of its most distinctive features are the three bronze bells, with intricately worked edges, in its bell tower, as well as the late 16th-century tiles and the baptismal font.
