A view of the Mother Church (c. XII / XII) in Ponte de Lima.
"Church built by residents with the consent of King D. João I from 1425 onwards and finished probably in 1446.
Due to the overlapping of multiple styles, for instance the
gothic portal crowned by an revivalist 20th century rose window, it is
perceptible that it suffered sveral changes and improvements along the
centuries.
The Capela de Nossa Senhora da Conceição, on the basis of
the bell tower has gothic inspiration and the portico of the Capela do
Santíssimo (nowadays Capela Beato Francisco Pacheco) dates from the
Renaissance.
The side
altars, both from the 18th century, to worship Nossa Senhora das Dores and Nossa
Senhora da Piedade (nowadays Nossa Senhora de Fátima) are remarkable due to the
richness of the carving works." In: Waymarking
