Monuments

Located in Tojais, the Church or Chapel of Ecce-Homo deserves an extended tour. Built in the 18th century, the church gained its bell tower in the 19th century.

Longitudinal in layout, the church of Ecce-Homo has a single nave in which there are retables and the carved, polychrome upper-chorus, representing the transition from Baroque to Neo-classical periods. The exuberance of its style is an example of the Rococo with its density and richness showing local influences. The carved, granite front features, near the top, the stone coats of arms of Gaspar of Bragança (son of king João V) beneath the royal crown.
