The Church of Santa Maria de Covas<\/a> is the most remarkable example of the Barroso region's Romanesque-Gothic religious architecture, dating from the 14th century.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an austere exterior, with powerful granite faces, which at the head of the church frame a beautifully decorated frieze, the church of Santa Maria de Covas has a stunning decoration of mural paintings and the tomb with a lying statue of Afonso Anes de Barroso, dated 1459.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With approximately 60 km2 and 47 identified archaeological sites, the TVAP<\/a> justifies several visits to Boticas. If you don't have time for more, we leave you with two suggestions. The Hillfort of Sapelos, one of the most impressive fortified settlements in the municipality, from where you can enjoy a stunning view of the upper valley of the River Terva. And the Limarinho Mines, where the cuttings and lagoon, resulting from Roman mining, constitute the most remarkable landscape expression of the ancient mining of the Terva Valley.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
