Viana do Alentejo, Santuário Nossa Senhora d'Aires

Viana do Alentejo, Santuário Nossa Senhora d'Aires
O santuário em estilo barroco foi construído entre 1743 e 1804, segundo o projeto do Padre João Baptista, no local onde existia uma anterior ermida quinhentista. Na portada, uma inscrição em latim relata que após a expulsão dos mouros destas terras, um lavrador arava o campo quando encontrou dentro de um pote de barro a imagem que se vê no altar. O edifício tem uma planta de cruz latina, composta por uma única nave, com cobertura em abóbada de berço. No interior, destaca-se o altar de talha em estilo rococó.

The Baroque-style sanctuary was built between 1743 and 1804, according to the project of Father João Baptista, on the site where there was a previous 16th-century chapel. On the doorway, an inscription in Latin relates that after the expulsion of the Moors from these lands, a farmer was ploughing the field when he found inside a clay pot the image that can be seen on the altar. The building has a Latin cross plan, consisting of a single nave, with a vaulted roof. Inside, the rococo style carved altarpiece stands out.

Such a wonderful looking monastery - I'm assuming it's still in use today. It seems to be in excellent condition and it looks superb against that dramatic sky.

Very nicely composed and taken Isabel.................and such a shame you were unable to get inside for a look around.

As a jewish descendent and atheist I am not very fond of entering any religious monument, except romanic churches and little chapels for the architecture and the simplicity.
Inside those churches in Portugal too much gold, too heavy...
