Religious sites in Peneda-Gerês National Park

Sacred Sites and Churches

The Peneda-Gerês region preserves a diverse collection of religious architecture, from the monumental 18th-century Santuário de Nossa Senhora da Peneda with its Baroque staircase to the 12th-century Cistercian ruins of Mosteiro de Santa Maria das Júnias. This list features significant pilgrimage sites like the Basílica de São Bento da Porta Aberta alongside remote granite chapels and Romanesque parish churches that illustrate the spiritual history and traditional stone masonry of northern Portugal's mountain communities.
