Already in 1105 the Church of São Pedro de Abragão was mentioned. Over the centuries, it has undergone several reconstructions, recoveries and restorations. The last was done by the Romanesque Route. The trip through Tamega's Valley starts here, in a church that still has a chancel with Romanesque style. Outside the chapel is observable a frieze composed of geometric motifs that may have Mozarabs and Visigothic influences. Inside, the rectangular chevet consists of two sections in rhythm and staggered abutments. The chapel decoration is vegetal themed including the triumphal arch which is surmounted by a rosette in the shape of a five-pointed star. The rounded bases, addorsed columns and the capitals, very bulky compared to the low height of the chevet, feature decorative themes similar to those of the main portal of the monastery of Travanca (Amarante). The gilded altarpiece is already Baroque We cannot fail to mention the contrast that exists between the whitewashed walls of the nave and the mural in shades of blue from the wall of the triumphal arch that conveys a light and a unique character to this church. In 2006, when doing reconstruction works in a building (that was once used as a blacksmith's workshop) near the Parish Council the workers began to discover parts, some with apparels, others carved, belonging to the former nave of the church. It were found capitals, bases, ashlars and staves within a portal that leads to the conclusion that the nave would have unusual big dimensions for the time. These pieces have been the motto for the construction of the Interpretation Centre of Romanesque Sculpture, in the vicinity of the Church of Abragão.
