The town center doubles as the town parking lot, and the surrounding buildings give the (wrong) impression that the town is a prosperous business center. Away from the center, however, activity levels and building heights drop off considerably, although it never sinks into the coma of Penafiel. The town's church, pictured here, was built around the year 1000 and has the distinction of being the first Romanesque church in the province. That distinction wasn't sufficient to get us up the stairs to the church, though, so the photo is as close as we got.
