Our Lady of the Incarnation Church

Our Lady of the Incarnation Church is located in the municipality of Porto Moniz, more precisely in the parish of Ribeira da Janela. Before the present church was built, there was a small chapel in honour of Our Lady of the Incarnation, which was eventually destroyed by a flood. The temple was rebuilt in the late 17th century. This religious space subsequently underwent several renovations that gave it its current layout.

Built in the late 17th century, Our Lady of the Incarnation Church exhibits a façade flanked by a bell tower and a magnificent glazed broken arch window. However, its greatest wealth lies within.
