Igreja de São Miguel (Armamar)

Its construction possibly dates back to the 12th century, and is the only national monument in the municipality of Armamar, Portugal.

According to tradition, the church was built with stones from the demolished Armamar Castle, before the foundation of the Salzedas Monastery.

Opinions in this regard are divided: there are those who consider that the church was founded by Egas Moniz, aide of King D. Afonso Henriques; others say that on the initiative of Egas Moniz a primitive temple, perhaps a chapel, would have been built, and not the current church that would have succeeded him.

[1] Built in a combination of Romanesque and Gothic styles, it has a Latin rectangular floor plan, with three naves and a bell tower with a square floor plan.
