CHURCH OF THE MONASTERY OF SÃO GONÇALO
Church renowned for its carved golden wooden altar, a beautiful testimony of the historical past of the city in Amarante.
This church is part of a beautiful monastery of the 16th century (1540), with an interesting three-storey façade decorated with numerous sculptures. But the building is especially famous for its carved golden wooden altar, erected behind the central altar. You will also admire a 17th century organ and visit the small chapel where the tomb of São Gonçalo is located. A beautiful testimony of the historical past of the city, which you won't miss in Amarante.

L’extérieur fait apparaître un très beau portail à colonnettes surmonté d’un fronton de style baroque. A l’intérieur magnifique mobilier en bois doré et aussi un orgue datant du 17eme siècle. Petite chapelle avec le tombeau de Sao Gonçalo . A proximité un musée et le petit jardin (Alameda Teixeira Pascoaes) très reposant. Traverser le vieux pont Sao Gonçalo au-dessus de la rivière Tamega ,
pour venir déguster les pâtisseries de la célèbre enseigne Cofeitaria da Ponte.
