About
The oldest documental reference to the Church of Saint Mammes of Vila Verde dates back to 1220. At the time it was part of the patronage of the Monastery of Pombeiro (Felgueiras). It has a single nave and a rectangular chancel. The traces of mural paintings show that the chancel was painted to look like an altar, where we can identify the depictions of Saint Benedict and, probably, Saint Bernard.
