Colegiada de Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, Medieval collegiate church in central Guimarães, Portugal.
The church exhibits a combination of Romanesque, Gothic, and Manueline architectural elements, with a prominent bell tower constructed in 1513.
Founded in 949 by Countess Mumadona Dias as a double monastery, the structure transformed into a collegiate church around 1139 under royal patronage.
The main facade features a grand window depicting the Virgin's genealogy, while the central altarpiece displays an ancient image of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira.
Located in the historic center of Guimarães, the church maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors interested in Portuguese religious architecture.
The church gained prominence after 1342 when an olive tree in the adjacent square turned green, establishing the site as a national pilgrimage center.
