Igreja do Corpo Santo de Massarelos

Work on the present church began in 1776 in Massarelos, a riverside parish closely tied to the Douro's sailors and maritime confraternities. The tile panel on the side facing the river shows maritime and Age of Discovery imagery. The building is still waiting for national classification, so it has no protected status yet.
