EN: "Religious, neoclassical architecture. Neoclassical church with a longitudinal plan, with 3 naves. The Collegiate Church of Santo Estêvão de Valença was based here, as well as the Bishopric of Ceuta. From those times it is possible to appreciate the bishop's chair, in Gothic-Mudejar style, as well as the chairs and paintings from the life of St. Stephen. The temple also preserves the only painting existing in Portugal of the Virgin breastfeeding the boy who escaped the Inquisition."
