Sanctuary of Santa Quitéria
The church was built on the supposed burial site of the martyr, Santa Quitéria. The church, where a pilgrimage is held, is small and dates from the nineteenth century. The altar piece is an interesting example of gold engraving from the end of the seventeenth century.
On a plateau above the church a monument to the Immaculate Conception was inaugurated in 1906, designed by the painter Abel Cardoso and sculpted by the artist from Oporto, José Coelho Vidal. There are chapels with a pyramidical dome, demonstrating scenes from the life and martyrdom of the Saint.
