[1] By 7 February 2003, a dispatch from the vice-president of the IPPAR (forerunner of the IGESPAR) showed the intention of the national body to advance with a process of classification.

[1] It was supported on 10 December 2007, by the DRCoimbra, that suggested classifying the area around it as a special protection zone, and as an IIP Imóvel de Interesse Público (Property of Public Interest).

[1] The church is situated in the centre of the small town of São Gião, in a central square, surrounded by historic buildings.

The main retable is attributed to sculptor António Neves and carver Jose Ribeiro da Fonseca from Beiras, in the last part of the 18th century.
