Gandra parish church

Esposende
Description
Despite  the major interventions it has undergone over the centuries, the parish church of Gandra also presents some characteristics that seem to indicate a Romanesque origin.The present temple dates to the 17th century and is dedicated to S. Martinho. It is a masonry construction without plaster  or paint.On the south side, we will find the sacristy next to one of the side chapels.On the northen gable,we can see the bell tower. The main façade discloses  a quadrilobate rose window that culminates in a cross. The side chapels also bear the same kind of rose windows.Let us not foget the gilded woodcarving altars,one of the finest portuguese Baroque works.
