The Church of Nossa Senhora da Visitação is located in the peaceful village of Belver, within the municipality of Gavião. Its location in the Bairro Tropa area integrates it into the urban fabric of the locality, making it a point of reference for those traversing its streets. The surroundings are characterized by the serenity typical of the village, inviting a calm experience of discovery.
The origins of this construction date back to the 16th century, the period when its foundation was established. Over the centuries, the church underwent several interventions, resulting in alterations that shaped its current configuration. These transformations reflect its evolution and its continued importance to the community of Belver.
Inside the temple, visitors can appreciate a remarkable artistic collection. One of the most notable elements is a panel on the Altar of Souls, depicting the figure of Saint Michael in purgatory, a piece attributed to Pedro Alexandrino de Carvalho. On the main altar, there is another painting, without a visible signature, but whose artistic expressiveness suggests it may have been created by the same author, enriching the church's pictorial heritage.
