Igreja Paroquial de Moncarapacho, Parish church in Moncarapacho, Portugal.

The Moncarapacho parish church features a Romano-Gothic chapel with white exterior walls and architectural elements from multiple periods.

Built after the Algarve's reconquest from the Moors, the church became a central religious institution in the Olhão municipality during the 16th century.

The church houses a museum containing archaeological artifacts, religious art pieces, and an 18th-century Neapolitan nativity scene with 45 gold and silver adorned figures.

Located in the center of Moncarapacho, the church museum opens daily and provides guided tours for school groups and visitors interested in religious heritage.

The church's position near Cerro de São Miguel makes it the first landmark visible to sailors approaching from the Mediterranean Sea.
