What to expect
These are church ruins inside the castle rather than a functioning parish church. They help explain the earliest settlement on the hill and the religious life that once existed within the fortified walls.
Look at the remains in the context of the castle enclosure, rather than expecting an intact decorated interior. The ruined building is a useful contrast to Nossa Senhora dos Mártires in the town below, which later took on the parish role.
