Church of Montariol, Religious building in São Victor, Portugal

The Church of Montariol stands on Mount Calvelo, featuring a facade with the arms of the Order of Saint Francis and a niche containing a statue of Our Lady.

The Jesuits purchased the property in 1562 to establish their Formation House, and after their expulsion, it passed through various owners until the Franciscans acquired it in 1890.

The church houses numerous altars decorated in late Neoclassical style and contains a five-meter wooden Christ figure in its main altar since 2003.

The church underwent extensive renovations in December 2003, including new windows, complete painting, restoration of altars, presbytery, ceiling, upper choir, and pipe organ.

The Church of Montariol displays the oldest mechanical nativity scene in Braga, maintained by Scout Group 660 since 1993 during Christmas season.
