Igreja de Lourosa, Pre-Romanesque church in Lourosa, Portugal.

A stone found in the church structure dates back to 912, making it one of the oldest religious buildings in Portugal.

The church dedication to Saint Peter of Antioch represents a connection to early Christian traditions in the Iberian Peninsula.

The monument stands at coordinates 40°19'2.85600"N and 7°55'55.00920"W, accessible through guided tours arranged by local authorities.

Archaeological evidence reveals that stones from a Roman temple dedicated to Jupiter were incorporated into the church construction.
