Igreja matriz de Monchique
Igreja matriz de Monchique, Historic church in Monchique, Portugal
The Mother Church of Monchique features a Manueline facade with five ornate pinnacles at the corners of the main structure.
The church construction dates from the 15th to 16th centuries, with major structural modifications following the earthquake of 1755.
The interior columns display capitals decorated with rope-like patterns that mirror the decorative elements of the main portal.
The church is located at Rua da Igreja 8550 in Monchique and remains accessible daily through the historic town center.
The church tabernacle is crafted as a miniature church, while two angels above the altar hold representations of the sun and moon.
