“A church born from a merger?” you might wonder, squinting at the Igreja Paroquial de Folhada. Indeed, this church, modest as it might appear, stands as a testament to a fascinating story. The Igreja Paroquial de Folhada, you see, finds itself in the parish of Várzea, Aliviada e Folhada. This parish itself is a result of the 2013 administrative reorganization that reshaped the landscape of parishes in Marco de Canaveses. Before this, three distinct parishes, Várzea, Aliviada, and Folhada, each held their own identities. This merging of communities is mirrored in the church’s own history. While the exact origins of the Igreja Paroquial de Folhada remain shrouded in the mists of time, its very presence speaks of a community’s faith. This faith, passed down through generations, continues to animate the Igreja Paroquial de Folhada, making it a living testament to the enduring spirit of this merged parish.
