Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Igreja Matriz de Melgaço

The town of Melgaço exists since the late 12th century. The Igreja Matriz was erected mid the 13th century and was named first "Igreja de Santa Maria da Porta", as it was located next to the portal of the medieval castle of Melgaço. The church still has Romanesque parts, but got remodeled and reconstructed many times over the centuries.
