The Church of Nossa Senhora das Graças is located in São Vicente, which is part of the municipality of Abrantes. This place of worship is integrated into the urban fabric of the area, accessible and an integral part of the daily life of the community residing in this area of Abrantes.
The history of the Church of Nossa Senhora das Graças dates back to the mid-20th century. Its first stone was laid on April 17, 1966, a moment marked by the presence of the Bishop of Portalegre and Castelo Branco, D. Agostinho de Moura. This date marks the beginning of the construction of a space intended for faith and community gathering, reflecting the development and spiritual needs of the population of São Vicente.
As a religious space, the Church of Nossa Senhora das Graças provides an environment of tranquility and contemplation. For visitors, it offers a moment of pause, allowing for the observation of a building that, due to its construction date, fits into a more contemporary architectural style, distinct from churches of earlier periods. It is a point of reference for the local community, which uses it as the center of its celebrations and religious experiences.
