The Mother Church of Vila Seca stands in the peaceful locality of Vila Seca, an integral part of the municipality of Armamar. Its presence marks a central landmark in the heart of the village, easily accessible to those exploring the streets of this area.
The construction of the Mother Church of Vila Seca dates back to the late 17th century, a period when the Baroque style prevailed. Observing its architecture, one can see how this style, with its expressiveness and attention to detail, shaped the religious buildings of the era, lending them a striking presence in the local landscape and an interior that invites careful observation.
It is inside the Mother Church of Vila Seca that its most notable treasure is revealed: the profusion of gilded woodcarving. This expressive art, which covers altars and other decorative elements, consists of applying thin gold leaf onto carved wood. The result is an environment of great visual richness, where light reflects off the shining surfaces, creating a unique and welcoming atmosphere, characteristic of many temples from the Baroque era.
