Igreja Matriz de Freixo de Espada à Cinta
The church has three rectangular naves, a chancel, two apsidioles, and a sacristy. The main elevation, finished with a gable and formed by three sections separated by buttresses, features a door with a large, depressed arch with an ornate frame, topped by a decorative arch. The interior features a flagstone floor and ribbed vault ceiling. Also, noteworthy is the high choir in the first section and the wrought-iron pulpit. One of the apsidioles provides access to the sacristy through an 18th-century door, topped by a polychrome national coat of arms. The other apsidiole houses a funerary monument in an arcosolium.
