Mosteiro do Divino Salvador de Moreira

The primitive monastery dates from the middle of the 9th century. The reconstruction of the new church began in the 16th century and was finished in the 18th century. The granite façade shows some austerity and the church presents a single nave, with a circumscribed transept, a rectangular main chapel and bell towers. Inside the main altar stands out, as well as the two cross altars, built later, the high choir and the ceiling in vault. Worthy of notice are also the two lateral chapels, the main chapel covered with glassed tiles and the relic of Saint Lenho that has been there since 1085.
