Cascais Religious Architecture Tour
Among the architectural treasures of the municipality of Cascais, the religious buildings stand out for their grandeur, richness and history, although they have often been rebuilt and altered over the centuries.
The religious devotion of the local community is represented in a number of churches, some of which have important decorative pieces, such as tile panels, altars in gilded woodcarving, oil paintings, statues, vestments and religious articles.
Religious architecture is a form of cultural and artistic manifestation that translates into buildings that may have a more erudite or folk image. They stand for the most symbolic aspects and also the daily lives of communities.
This tour takes you to some of the oldest and most important places of worship in the municipality, including convents, churches, chapels and shrines, which still mark the landscape in Cascais.
