I came to this village to find a couple of geocaches and it was my first visit here. Which is strange because it's located by obe of the main roads in the country which I used hundreds of times, but bever came to my mind to stop here.

Well, the church it's indeed interesting, definitely with its own personality, a bit different from the common churches in the area.

I found some information about the church but it's in Portuguese and there are plenty of very specific words which I couldn't easily translate so for those who are interested, here is the link:
