Igreja Matriz de Cárquere, Romanesque church in Cárquere, Portugal
The stone complex includes a nave, main chapel, sacristy, pantheon, bell tower and monastic area arranged around a cloister with geometric ornamentation.
The monastery construction started in the 12th century, becoming the sole Augustinian Canons establishment in Lamego's diocese by 1320 before transferring to Jesuit ownership.
The church interior contains a 14th-century White Virgin sculpture made from Ançã stone and an ivory representation of Nossa Senhora de Cárquere.
The church stands at Rua do Mosteiro 4660-059 in Cárquere and welcomes visitors who can obtain information by phone or email contact.
The monastery capitals feature the earliest known bagpipe iconography in the Iberian Peninsula, carved into stone during medieval times.
