Carrazedo Parish Church
Carrazedo Parish Church
Classified as a Property of Public Interest, the Parish Church of S. Martinho is located in the parish of Carrazedo. With a longitudinal plan, consisting of a single nave, the church consists of a quadrangular bell tower with a bulbous dome, two side chapels, attached to the left side and a rectangular chancel.
The origin of its construction dates back to the Middle Ages, as can be seen from the remains of a Romanesque window, discovered in one of the walls of the main chapel, belonging to the original church. In the 15th century, the chapel of Santa Margarida was built for the burial of Manuel Machado de Azevedo, 3rd Lord of Entre Homem e Cávado and his wife. In the second half of the 16th century, the son of Francisco de Sá de Miranda, Jerônimo de Sá de Miranda, ordered the construction of the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Apresentação or Tapada to place the tombs of his parents and family.
In the mid-18th century the church was rebuilt, presenting the architecture we can see today. The main façade of the church is Baroque, with a portal with a cut-out pediment, topped by a niche containing the image of S. Martinho, flanked by two large windows.
