The winding path leads to the swing; further down there's a viewpoint, but it's not ideal for taking a bicycle.

This C12 Romanesque church used to be a part of a larger monastic complex run until C15 by the Order of the Canons Regular of Saint Augustine. The main and side portals are certainly very impressive, so are the sculptures found all around the building, but the most striking feature must be the partially preserved funerary galilee in front, with two bay bell tower. https://www.rotadoromanico.com/en/Monuments/monastery-of-saint-peter-of-ferreira/

This little Romanesque gem from mid-to-late C13 is obscured by the modern parish church, so it's easy to miss. Look out for the corbels with a fascinating variety of carved motifs ranging from bull heads to stone-carrying men. https://www.rotadoromanico.com/en/Monuments/church-of-saint-genesius-of-boelhe/

The parish church was built in C13 but after the C17 alterations, only the chancel retains the original Romanesque features. Make a sure you visit the nearby Rota do Românico interpretation centre to find out more about the route and get a free map and a stamp book. https://www.rotadoromanico.com/en/Monuments/church-of-saint-peter-of-abragao/

In an economically very developed area but with a strong agricultural tradition, Lousada also has a monumental heritage that deserves to be visited.
