The Parish Church stands in the Rines urbanization, in Fonte de Angeão, Vagos municipality. It is located in a small square with Portuguese pavement, alongside olive trees and agricultural areas that mark the rural character of the region.
The surrounding terrain is open, allowing glimpses of vineyards and fields to the south, while the white facade stands out alongside the modest housing that surrounds the space.
The building features contemporary lines, with a white painted facade and an irregular stone base, giving it solidity and simplicity. The bell tower rises on the left side, equipped with a clock visible from a distance.
On the side wall, a cross formed by dark-colored pieces creates a point of contrast, reinforcing its symbolic character without resorting to exuberant ornaments.
Dedicated to Our Lady of Deliverance, this church is part of the Diocese of Aveiro and the Archpriestship of Vagos, serving as a community hub for the local population. Throughout the year, it hosts celebrations that bring together residents from Fonte de Angeão and its surroundings.
The architectural style reflects the transition between traditional and modern, mirroring the adaptations of religious buildings in the Aveiro district over recent decades.
The calm square in front of the temple invites moments of pause. Stone benches and discreet light strips suggest an environment conducive to contemplation, especially in the late afternoon, when the sun sets over the cultivated fields.
Young olive trees and iron lanterns accompany passersby, creating a sense of serenity that matches the more tranquil pace of Fonte de Angeão.
