Igreja de Santa Maria de Almacave
The church consists of a nave with a high choir, a narrower and lower chancel, a bell tower, side chapels, and several outbuildings. The Romanesque structure of the church still survives, with the main door featuring four archivolts and a side portal with lintels supported by simple modillions. The main façade is gabled, with a Romanesque portal and two side porticos featuring equally Romanesque elements, with a cross pierced in the tympanum. The side elevations feature unadorned corbels in the nave, and those of the annexes and chancel feature pilaster cornerstones and frieze and cornice finishes. Notable are the altarpieces of gilded Portuguese and Joanine woodwork, as well as the 17th-century tile ashlars.
