This two-story noble house showcases impressive Baroque architecture. The upper floor was reserved for the owners of the house, while the ground floor served different purposes, such as storage, barns, and a wine cellar.
The main facade is truly captivating, with its intricate decoration that creates a fascinating contrast to the rest of the building. You will marvel at triangular pediments, graceful curves, and decorative elements, including volutes and pinnacles, all adorned with gilded carvings.
Integrated into the facade is a unique private chapel, with a single nave, a raised choir, and an impressive main altar. Visitors have the opportunity to explore this special space.
The slightly decentralized entrance portal is a stunning work of decorative art. Its ornamental details are sure to leave anyone in awe and leave a lasting impression on visitors.
Within the village of Igreja, you will find the splendid coat of arms of Solar de Cambra, which has recently undergone restoration to preserve its historical significance. Now, it can be admired in all its glory.
