Igreja de São Miguel do Castelo
This Romanic church has a perfectly volte doorway and a rectangular main chapel, probably built by the Count Dom Henrique. This Monument has a rather high symbolism not only for its historical connection to the period in which the Nationality was founded, but also because traditionally here Dom Afonso Henriques was baptised. The main façade includes a doorway with two archivolts and a flat tympanum. On the inside there are some warrior graves that were connected to the Nationality foundation.
