The construction of the Church of São João Batista de Gatão took a long time. It was between two centuries - XIII and XIV - that that beautiful monument was built. The result reveals versatility.
Largo da Igreja, Gatão
Amarante
In the chancel, the cornice with archways, for example, accuses Romanesque elements, while the mural painting from the 15th and 16th centuries, in the nave and also in the chancel, gives the touch of the modern period. The landscape is further accentuated by the individuality of the building, due to its isolated location.
