XX (open to worship on August 22, 1926, but only ended in 1943) a good model of eclectic revivalist architecture, very much in vogue in the second half of the century. XIX transition to XX. A work by Viennese masters, it includes the risk of the architect Ventura Terra and the skillful chisel of Emídio Lima, being director of the work Miguel Nogueira, Ventura Terra's disciple. Majestic church, of centralized plant, of Byzantine inspiration, with the form of a square of 22m of width. Internally it is inscribed on a Greek cross. Unique nave with the main altar to the north and two side altars occupying each arm of the cross. The sacristy and support areas surround the main chapel in the shape of a semi-circle.
