We are in the Central Alentejo, in the district of Évora, in the municipality of Montemor-o-Novo, to visit the parish of São Cristovão.
Halfway between Montemor-o-Novo and Alcácer do Sal, São Cristovão is a village on the sea plain on the way to the beaches.
The origin of this village is closely linked to a legend, in which Saint Christopher is credited with choosing the location of the church, which is why the people chose this Saint as their Patron Saint and the unifying symbol of their Faith.

São Cristovão is a village in the Alentejo region, belonging to the municipality of Montemor-o-Novo.
The foundation of this parish must predate 1534. The former parish of São Cristovão, within the territory of Montemor-o-Novo, was a curacy under the patronage of the Archbishop of Évora.
Its economic activity is based on agriculture, livestock farming, bread making, and cattle breeding.
São Cristovão is a white and welcoming village, smiling at every visitor, with natural heritage open to those who know how to discover it.
It undoubtedly deserves a visit, especially for lovers of Alentejo gastronomy.
