Igreja de Mondrões - Vila Real, Portugal - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

[PT]
"A actual freguesia de São Tiago de Mondrões conheceu grande prestígio, tendo chegado a ser vila, e possuindo longas ligações à ordem hieronimita, inclusivamente como vigariado pertencente ao padroado do Mosteiro dos Jerónimos de Belém. A igreja paroquial de Mondrões terá sido edificada nas primeiras décadas do século XVI, possivelmente em data próxima de 1519, quando o vizinho concelho de Penaguião recebeu foral manuelino, beneficiando também as vilas limítrofes.O templo, dedicado a São Tiago, possui planimetria e espacialidade manuelinas, com nave única cujo comprimento duplica a largura, portais Sul e Norte rasgados em eixo, e capela-mor rectangular, sendo todas as coberturas feitas através de elegantes abóbadas estreladas. No entanto, a estrutura original foi grandemente desvirtuada por obras de reconstrução posteriores, datadas já de 1744, época na qual toda a região vivia grande prosperidade económica."

The temple, dedicated to St. James, has Manueline planimetry and spatiality, a single nave with a length twice the width, north and south portals torn on axis, and rectangular chancel, with all the toppings made ??through elegant starry vaults.
