Mother Church of São Pedro da Teixeira

Address
Church Street - Teixeira - Baião

The Mother Church, built in the 18th century. In the XVIII century, in the year 1761, it retains a large part of its original design, the most outstanding being the Baroque exterior decoration, maintaining the decorative elements characteristic of this architectural art, such as the carvings, the broken and interrupted pediments, the shells and the scrolls. 

The portal of the entrance, rectangular, is framed by pilasters and topped by entablature and interrupted pediment displaying to the center a cartouche decorated with volutes.

Two quadrilobed glasses frame laterally the upper part of the pediment.

 Under the curve gable is still visible a niche in stonework flanked by pilasters, surmounted by entablature and cornice to which another interrupted pediment overlaps. Flank this set two smaller cartons decorated with scrolls.

 After visiting the Church descend to the Pelourinho mark of the autonomization of Teixeira as a county since 1514 when it receives Foral by the hand of D. Manuel I and that was maintained until the liberal administrative reform
