Church of Saint John the Baptist of Gatao

About

The Church of Gatão is a monument that marks a chronological construction arc that ranges between the 13th and the 14th centuries, emerging as a building that combines Romanesque elements (the cornice with little arches on the chancel and the main portal) with other elements that already announce the Modern Period, namely the mural paintings from the 15th and 16th centuries in the chancel and nave. It stands out from the landscape due to its isolated location, which adds to its uniqueness. This Church is part of the Route of the Romanesque.
