Melgaço - Igreja de São Salvador
The Igreja de São Salvador (aka "Igreja de Paderne") is located in Paderne, now part of larger Melgaço. A monastery was founded here in 1130, sponsored by Paterna, a noble widow, who then joined the convent with her daughters. Later Augustine canons lived here until the monastery got dissolved in 1770. The church got reconstructed and remodeled a couple of times and now serves the parish.
The church has two western portals, so that it seems first, that here are two churches side by side. Here is the larger, central portal, - seen in pouring rain. The archivolts have geometric patterns.
