Situated in the peaceful locality of Granjinha, in the municipality of Tabuaço, the Parish Church stands on Rua de Cima. This location offers a serene and tranquil environment, characteristic of a Beira village, inviting a calm visit through the heart of the settlement.
The history of the Parish Church of Granjinha is intimately linked to the past of the locality itself. For centuries, the parish of Granjinha was under the jurisdiction of the ancient Monastery of São Pedro das Águias, an important religious center in the region. This secular dependence shaped the identity and trajectory of the church visited today, reflecting its importance in the community and spiritual context of Granjinha over time.
The Parish Church of Granjinha features architecture that combines elements of Mannerist and Baroque styles. Its plan is longitudinal, a common layout in parish churches, and the structure is composed of the main nave, the chancel, the sacristy, and a bell tower that stands out in the ensemble.
Inside, the visitor's attention is captivated by the presence of a baptismal font, located on the Gospel side, and by several altarpieces. These works in gilded and polychrome carving, which also reveal Mannerist and Baroque influences, enrich the space and invite contemplation of the artistic details.
