The Chapel of Nossa Senhora do Loreto (Our Lady of Loreto) is located in the small area of Quintãs, part of the serene locality of Guiães, which belongs to the municipality of Vila Real. This tranquil place offers a striking presence within the rural and traditional environment of Trás-os-Montes, inviting a peaceful exploration of its surroundings.
This temple is a remarkable example of 18th-century architecture, dating from the 18th century. Its construction reveals characteristics of the period, with a structure that includes an attached body extending the main facade. Above this body, a unique bell tower rises, crowned by several pinnacles that give it a distinctive silhouette on the horizon.
The Chapel of Nossa Senhora do Loreto, with a single nave, features a facade that deserves special attention for its ornamental elements. The main portico, which serves as the entrance, is elegantly topped by a coat of arms, a detail that suggests the importance or patronage of a noble family or institution. Furthermore, the facade is enriched with three voluted medallions, which add a touch of artistic sophistication to its modest scale.
