IGREJA MATRIZ DE SÃO PEDRO DE PENAFERRIM

A Igreja Paroquial de São Pedro de Penaferrim, de origem medieval e com cabeceira poligonal de panos cegos ostenta fachada tardo-barroca resultante do restauro pombalino após o terramoto de 1755. No seu interior destacam-se as abóbadas de cruzaria com bocetes, representando um deles as armas dos Castro da Penha Verde numa evocação da reforma patrocinada por D. Álvaro de Castro e outro com a representação do "homem silvestre" numa clara alusão ao Império ultramarino. No interior, destacam-se os lambris forrados com azulejos historiados, possivelmente de 1730, provenientes da oficina de Valentim de Almeida.

Sintra is the only place in the country in wich history has become a garden, because all it's legends converge there and it's very monuments speak less of the past than of an eternal present of greenery.
