Igreja do Salvador de Cabeça Santa

Ordered to build by d. Mafalda, daughter of King Sancho I in the 13th century, the Church of the Savior of Gândara (as was previously known) is, according to various experts, a modest copy of the Church of Cedofeita, Porto, in particular at the level of decoration, which attests to the roaming of the Romanesque artists in this region of the country. From the 17TH century, this Church also begins to be known as Santa head, due to a skull kept in silver reliquary and exposed in altar, said to belong to a single unknown, and which assigns followed qualities. This kind of relics was common at the time and the phenomenon lasted until modern times. Refer to the representation of two dragons and an Acrobat in South side door, this is considered one of the best examples of Romanesque sculpture of the North, as well as a set of anthropomorphic graves dug into the rock so well preserved at the rear of the temple.
