Igreja de São Bartolomeu - Church of St. Bartholomew
Overview
Reviews 0

The modest Church of St. Bartholomew is one of the oldest religious sites in town. Its first edification precedes the year 957; There is a record of its donation to the Lorvão Monastery from that year.

Over the centuries, the church has suffered significant architectural interventions. The current Baroque style is due to its complete reconstruction in the second half of the 18th century.

Inside, the most relevant works are: two paintings depicting the death and resurrection of Christ, on the left in the chapel of the nave, and the main gold altarpiece in Baroque style with a painting by the Italian artist Pascoal Parente, portraying the Martyrdom of St. Bartholomew.
