Igreja de São Gião, Medieval religious monument in Famalicão, Portugal.
The rectangular stone church features a gabled roof, central rounded arch entrance, and double arches along its lateral walls.
The structure, initially attributed to Visigothic construction in the 7th century, received updated dating to the 10th century through recent architectural studies.
The interior displays Byzantine influences in its iconostasis design and contains wooden ceiling structures divided by a transverse wall extending to the roof.
The church stands west of Casal Mota at the base of Serra da Pescaria, accessible via an unpaved road from Ponte da Barca.
Archaeological campaigns between 1965 and 1999 revealed internal structures including opus signinum flooring and evidence of earlier construction layers.
