Monuments

The Santuário de Nossa Senhora do Alívio (Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora do Alívio), in Soutelo, was built in the end of the 18th century and is a well-known place of pilgrimage in the region, attracting many visitors. On the second and third Sundays of September the most important pilgrimages are held in honour of the patroness.

The first construction, in 1798, was due to Fr. Xavier Frágoas, in thanksgiving to Nossa Senhora for being cured of an illness. Due to the great influx of devotees and pilgrims over time, the sanctuary was enlarged in 1872 and a new building was built.
