The Church of São João do Souto is located in the parish of São João do Souto and was built at the end of the 18th century and replaced the original church of the twelfth century.
The current church was built by order of Archbishop D. Gaspar de Bragança and is linked to the Coimbra Chapel.
The chapel has the shape of a quadrangular tower, divided into two distinct spaces
Galilee, with Manueline ornaments and statuary by Hodart; the interior part, authored by João de Rouão, has the traditional high altar and the arms of D. João de Coimbra.
The chapel is covered by a vault of ribs, and the walls have pictures, in tiles, alluding to Genesis.
