Stª Maria de Abade de Neiva Church

Abade de Neiva is a small parish in the municipality of Barcelos, located on a hillside protected from the north wind. It was founded in 1152 by Queen Mafalda, the wife of King Afonso I of Portugal who wanted to build a monastery but never managed to do so. Unfinished, it retains the lines of its original Romanesque architecture, with Gothic elements introduced in the 14th Century.

The Abade de Neiva Church was listed as a National Monument on 14 October 1927.
