Sande Church is located in the village of Sande, part of the municipality of Vila Verde. It is situated in the area known as Santa Luzia, within a characteristic Minho village setting. This area is distinguished by its tranquil atmosphere, typical of the municipality's rural areas.
Located in Lugar da Igreja, the building is a central reference point for the local community, reflecting its position within the village structure, in the territory that once constituted the parish of Sande.
The patron saint of Sande Church is Saint Eulalia. This religious devotion is a central aspect of the life of the parish and the local community. Throughout the year, celebrations in honor of Saint Eulalia are important moments for the inhabitants, marking the rhythm of traditions and faith in the village.
More than a religious building, Sande Church represents a meeting point and a symbol of Sande's identity. Its presence in the heart of the locality underscores its perennial role as a social and cultural unifier. The church board, the entity responsible for its management and conservation, actively participates in local revitalization, seeking to keep this heritage alive and its meaning for present and future generations.
