About
The Church of Abragao still has its Romanesque chancel, a significant legacy of Romanesque architecture from the Tamega and Sousa region. On the exterior, the frieze composed of geometric motifs recalls the decoration of churches from Visigothic and Mozarabic periods. This Church has been documented since 1105. However, the chancel - which tradition ascribes to the initiative of D. Mafalda, the granddaughter of king D. Afonso Henriques - dates back to the second quarter of the 13th century.
