Ornamental lightness is clearly the main feature of the Church of Santa Maria de Jazente. It is one of several buildings integrated in the so-called 'late Romanesque'.
Rua da Igreja, freguesia de Jazente
Amarante
The Gothic image inside the church invokes the figure that gives the space its name - Santa Maria -, while on the outside a perforated cross is imposed on the portal, topped by a tympanum. No less interesting is the designation "Jazente", linked to the name of the poet Paulino Cabral, who, with curious sonnets, marked the second half of the 18th century.
