Have you heard of a church that predates Portugal itself? Right here, before you stands the Igreja de Santiago de Piães. Its story begins in 1087, long before Portugal’s official birth in 1143. Imagine the Igreja de Santiago de Piães then, a simple structure, witnessing the birth of a nation. This church wasn’t always part of Cinfães. Originally, it belonged to the municipality of Sanfins. Sanfins was headquartered right here, in the parish of Santiago de Piães. However, in October 1855, Sanfins was dissolved. Igreja de Santiago de Piães and its parish became part of Cinfães. The church holds more than just the echoes of history. It’s a treasure chest of religious art. Inside, you’ll find the Capelas de Santo António, São João, São Sebastião, Senhora da Conceição, Senhora do Socorro, Senhora de Cádis and Cosconhe. The main church, dedicated to São Tiago Maior, anchors this collection. Igreja de Santiago de Piães is more than just a building. It’s a testament to the enduring power of faith and community. A place where generations have gathered to worship and celebrate. A silent observer of the changing tides of history.
