Igreja de São Bartolomeu, matriz de Pechão

The rectangular church structure stands at the highest point of the village, offering views extending across the region toward the ocean.

The current building replaced a 15th-century hermitage, with construction occurring between 1758 and 1800, followed by the main chapel addition in 1815.

The polychrome wooden altars, created in 1859 and 1866, reflect the restoration period following damage during the Portuguese Liberal Wars.

Religious services continue with Sunday mass at 10:30, and visitors can find the church at Sítio da Igreja in the Pechão district.

A small bone chapel with an 18th-century facade stands adjacent to the main church building, preserving historical burial traditions.
