Visit the Church of Santo Estevão - Espinhosela

The Church of Santo Estevão, located in the parish of Espinhosela, dating from the 14th century, is a Mannerist church with a rectangular plan, with a quadrangular porch. It has a single nave, main chapel and sacristy attached on the left side. It features unique roofing on two-story roofs, except on the porch where the penthouse is three-story. All the elevations are covered by a basement and cornice, with wedges topped by pinnacles. The interior space has plastered walls and the base painted blue. The tall wooden choir has balusters and access ladder on the side of the Epistle. In the nave stand out: four collateral chapels, with perfect back arc; the access door to the high choir and the churchyard; the sink of holy water and the pulpit on a corbel with balusters.
