Sanctuary of the Senhora do Pilar
Carmelite sanctuary composed of a church built in 1680, using the stone blocks of a former fortress.
In the route into the fortification the remains of a roman fort - Lanhoso - are maintained as well as a Way of the Cross with five chapels. The chapels of the Way of the Cross have polychromatic wooden sculptured groups, which represent scenes of the Golgotha. The architectural style of the surviving three chapels which form part of the Sanctuary is in imitation of that of the Bom Jesus in Braga.
The main feast is held in the third Sunday in May.
