Igreja Matriz de Santa Maria da Feira e Convento dos Lóios
This is a Mannerist convent with a church in the shape of a Latin cross, a single nave, and a two-story cloister. Due to its characteristics, it fits into the typology of the monumental 17th-century churches of classicist and erudite style in the Porto region. The tilework in the chancel and transept is also from the 17th century, and the main altarpiece is Baroque, in the National Style, with Baroque side altarpieces from the time of King Pedro II, at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. In the center of the convent courtyard there was a Baroque fountain, now located in the square in front of the City Hall.
