Igreja do Divino Espírito Santo, Pereiro

A rural parish church on an inland Alcoutim route, with a distinctive collection of historic altarpieces.

Pereiro, on the EN124, Alcoutim municipality

What to expect

The church at Pereiro is a small-scale alternative to the better-known riverside monuments of Alcoutim. The diocesan heritage account highlights its altarpieces, including a surviving Mannerist example associated with the Souls in Purgatory.

It is a useful stop when your route already takes you through the inland villages. Keep Pereiro’s separate locality in mind when planning travel, and approach an interior visit as an opportunity around local parish activity rather than a fixed museum appointment.
