Chapel of São Frutuoso dos Montelios

Chapel of São Frutuoso dos Montelios, is one of Portugal’s oldest Christian monuments. Although still the subject of controversy, it was apparently built in the 7th century, partially destroyed by the Moors, and rebuilt in the 11th century, thus incorporating a mixture of Byzantine (uncommon in Portugal) and Gothic influences. It seems to have originally had the form of a Greek cross, but parts of it were destroyed and are incorporated into the building of the adjacent Church of São Francisco, an 18th-century monastery church.
