Mancelos - Igreja de São Martinho

Mancelos - Igreja de São Martinho
The church of São Martinho, also known as Mosteiro de Mancelos (Monastery of Mancelos). A monastery was mentioned here as early as 1120.

It was built in the middle of the 13th century. The church has a rectangular nave and a choir, typical of the Portuguese Romanesque style. The tower was converted into a bell tower in more recent times.

The main portal of the church is an important feature of the Romanesque style, with a simple tympanum and capitals with various plant motifs. The tympanum is supported by consoles in the shape of monster figures in atlantes poses..

Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso (prev. uploads) was buried here.
