IGREJA DO CASTELO DE MONTALEGRE
[PT]
"A igreja do Castelo é uma das duas igrejas da zona medieval da vila.
Esta igreja – que era a Matriz antes da construção da Igreja Nova – está efectivamente muito próxima do castelo. Rodeiam-na muitas e frondosas arvores, que lhe dão um ambiente sereno e pacato de muito reconhecimento. Embora seja de origem medieval, a traça actual deve remontar ao século XVII.
Nela merece destaque a torre sineira que, tal como em muitas igrejas da região, está separada do corpo principal do templo, ao qual fica fronteira, tendo acesso próprio pelo exterior. É constituída por uma nave e uma capela-mor e o interior é caracterizado pelo seu rico altar e talha dourada."
[EN]
"The Church of the Castle is one of the two churches in the medieval area of the village.
This church, which was the main one before the construction of the new Church - is actually very close to the Castle. Surrounded by many and leafy trees, giving you a serene and peaceful environment of much recognition. Although it is of medieval origin, the current must remount to the 17th century.
Special attention to the bell tower which, as in many churches in the region, is separated from the main body of the temple, which is the boundary, having own access from the outside. It consists of a nave and a chancel and the interior is characterised by its rich and gold-plated altar.
