Dedicated to Saint Salvador, the parish church of Santa Cruz resulted from the recovery of the Capela das Almas, from the 17th century, which had already been based on another construction from the beginning of the 16th century, following the 1748 earthquake. It presents influences from the mendicant Gothic and, inside, the baroque and neoclassical gilded altarpieces and traces of paintings on the pillars stand out.

The church was built in the 16th century and later expanded and restored in the 18th century. This reconstruction was necessary due to the devastation caused by the earthquake known as Mandado de Deus (Mandate of God). The majestic façade features a portal, three large windows, and two oculus windows, not to mention the bell tower, atypical for the island's architecture. Inside, the gilded carvings and numerous paintings stand out.

16th century church ordered to be built by the monarch King Manuel I. Temple with three naves where the gilded altars and tiles from the Lisbon School stand out inside. There are also some traces of Spanish-Moorish tiles from the 16th century. The bell tower was built later, in the 17th century. Some of the assets were stolen during the French Invasions.

This is a church within the rural type in which stands out, on the main façade, the Manueline doorway in full arch framed by conic shaft. On the sides there is a shed with Tuscan columns. The inside has one only nave and it is covered with seventeen hundreds glazed tiles with scenes from Christ’s life. It is also worthy to mention the altar in baroque carving, the baptismal font and the painted ceilings.

The Romanic church was built on the 12th century even though there are some doubts about the fact that this church used to be part of the Benedictine Convent, founded by S. Frutuoso on the 6th century. It stands out the doorway with two archivolts deeply decorated and the occidental doorway, very simple with the tympanum with a cross and laces, inspired on the bracarense (from Braga) art from the end of the 12th centuries.

São João de Alporão church is a temple from the 12th century and it appeared under the political – religious fight contexts during the Christian Reconquest. This is a singular temple by the way it associates the Gothic style and the Romanic style. On the interior it stands out the fourteen hundreds tombstone from Dom Duarte de Menezes. Nowadays the church is open to the public as a Museum for Temporary Exhibitions.

Although the conventual part is in ruins, the church, rebuilt in the 18th century, presents a harmonious façade dominated by five sculptures representing the four evangelists and Saint Louis. Inside, the gilded altarpiece and the Joanine sacristy stand out with paneled and painted ceilings, and walls covered in historic tiles.

It probably was one of the most remarkable lordly houses from this region, in its time. In this monument we stand out its crenel towers, the gallery with ten down arches above Toscan small columns and doors and windows with frames from the fifteen hundreds. In 2001 it suffered a partial rock fall from the vast arcade from the second floor from the main façade.

In this solar from the XVII century we have to stand out the existence of a distinct body integrated on the building and parallel to the frontage with open balconies supported by classic columns with a Coat of Arms on the entrance. The sixteen hundreds elements have to be mentioned, such as the porch with columns with simple capital and architrave decorated with triglyph, a door with a straight arch topped by a disrupted pediment decorated with volutes and cannon gargoyles.

This baroque manor house is dated from the XVIII century and it has Coat of Arms. On the first floor, its granite balcony with iron railings, can be stand out. It also possesses two other floors which were built afterwards. It has an external stone stair from which one can enter to the residence on the first floor and it is located in one of the lateral façades.
