Igreja do Castelo de Montalegre / Antiga Igreja Matriz de Montalegre

The Castle Church is one of two churches in the medieval area of the town. This church, which was the main church before the construction of the New Church, is actually very close to the castle. It is surrounded by many leafy trees, giving it a serene and peaceful atmosphere that is highly recognizable. Although medieval in origin, its current design likely dates back to the 17th century. Its bell tower, which, like many churches in the region, is separate from the main body of the temple, which it borders, deserves special mention. It consists of a nave and a chancel, and the interior is characterized by its rich altar and gilded carvings.
