A Igreja de São Romão de Arões situa-se na freguesia de São Romão de Arões, concelho de Fafe. Classificada como monumento nacional desde 1927.
A igreja foi edificada durante o segundo quartel do século XIII e consagrada em 1237. É constituída por uma só nave rectangular, como quase todas as outras igrejas românicas construídas nas zonas rurais de Portugal, coberta por telhado de madeira com caixotões.
Esta igreja, ao longo dos tempos, sofreu obras diversas que lhe foram alterando as suas características originais de obra românica, as quais levaram a Direcção Geral dos Edifícios e Monumentos Nacionais a incluí-la nas suas obras de salvamento.
Foi restaurada, tendo-lhe sido retirado tudo o que de algum modo poderia amesquinhar ou descaracterizar a construção primitiva, e reaberta ao culto em 1935.

The Church of San Roman Arões is located in the parish of São Romão de Arões, municipality Fafe. Classified as a national monument since 1927.
The church was built during the second quarter of the thirteenth century and consecrated in 1237. It consists of a rectangular nave, like most other Romanesque churches built in rural areas of Portugal, the roof covered with wooden panels.
This church, over time, has several works that have been altering its original characteristics of Romanesque, which led the General Direction of National Buildings and Monuments to include it in their work of rescue.
It was restored, having been taken from it all that could in any way belittle or distort the original building, and reopened for worship in 1935.
