In the place where the main chapel of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios was built there was a small chapel, built by Bishop D. Durando, in 1361, dedicated to Santo Estêvão.

In 1568, the Bishop of Lamego D. Manuel de Noronha authorized the demolition of the old chapel and, in the place where the Pátio dos Reis is currently located, ordered another to be erected under the invocation of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios. This chapel was also demolished to build the current Sanctuary, whose first stone was laid in 1750, at the initiative of Canon José Pinto Teixeira.

The Sanctuary building is a Baroque style construction all worked in granite, dazzling by the elegance of the style, imposed by the creativity of the author of the project that is believed to have been Nicolau Nasoni.

The hoist is 18th century. The altarpiece of the chancel attracts by its framing, constituting an original painting within the Portuguese carvings, in the center of which is the Image of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios. Also noteworthy are the lateral altars of S. Joaquim and Santa Ana. Also, inside the temple, you can admire beautiful tile panels, as well as interesting stained glass windows that enrich the walls of the main body and the chancel.

The frontispiece of the Sanctuary is the most admirable part of the entire building, fascinating all who are willing to admire the brightness and creative genius there. All the adornments, so elegantly refined in granite, are admirable.
