Description

Tiles of hagiographic character are introduced, reporting the life of Santo António; a new sacristy with a Joanine costume is elaborated, with a painted coffered ceiling and blackwood arches; and, finally, the main altarpiece, designed by Miguel Francisco da Silva, in 1743 and executed by Manuel da Costa Andrade is built.
The century. XX brings restoration works without significant changes to the general appearance of the building and the classification of Public Interest Property.
