Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Aparecida-Balugães
The sanctuary was built in the site where, according to tradition and supported by historical archives, Our Lady appeared in 1702 to the shepherd João Alves, whose remains are buried inside the chapel. The altar is built upon a rock - the site of the Virgin Mary's appearance.
The High Altar with an effigy of the Senhora da Abadia is engraved and suffered restoration works in the mid 1930s. A statue of João Alves is located on a hill above the churchyard.
The annual pilgrimage of the Senhora da Aparecida takes place on August 15.
