About
The Church of Saint Martin of Mouros, a monument that stands out within the Portuguese Romanesque, is quite impressive due to the robustness of its tower-façade. However, despite its military appearance, it only served religious purposes. Its construction may have been hindered for several years, resulting in the interruption of the original project, which, supposedly, had three naves and whose beginning corresponds to the interior of the tower-façade. Inside, highlight goes to the chancel that suffered major changes in the Modern Period. This monument is part of the Route of the Romanesque.
