Baião

Small dimensions temple that we can include already in the Gothic period, although of possible previous foundation. Simple façade, where a portal with a broken arch opens, with two archivolts, the interior being decorated with spheres. Despite the sobriety of the building, with few spans and heavy verticality, the interior features one of the most important mural painting from the 15th century preserved in Portugal.

Ponte de Esmoriz

  • heritage

Caminho da Ponte de Esmoriz
4640-015, Ancede

Baião

Located over the river Ovil, Ponte de Esmoriz is framed in a landscape still marked by a strong rurality. As in the case of Panchorra, in Resende, the Ponte de Esmoriz reflects the late use of quite remote constructive models. Consisting of a single round arch, it is part of the set of road crossings associated with the religious and economic importance of the neighboring Monastery of Ancede.

Baião

Pedestrian route on Roman pavement between Ancêde and Ribadouro, on the left bank of the river Ovil, with about 2800 meters. It is one of several legacies left by ancient civilizations and, like other Roman pieces, this one was made using large stone blocks buried in a foundation. At the beginning of the route there is a large information board used for exploring this route.

Mosteiro de Santo André de Ancede

  • heritage

Ancêde
4640-021, Ancede

Baião

Of the Romanesque construction of this important monastic church, first by the Canons Regular and later by the Dominicans, we can only point out the structure of the chancel, where the rose window stands out. All the rest of the monastic set, valuable for its artistic capital and for its local and regional influence, is the work of the Modern Period. We highlight the Baroque interventions that reveal a period of space revitalization in the 17th and 18th centuries.
