I would have given it 5 stars but the very knowledgeable and nice curator(?), person working alone didn't speak any, zero, English. I don't expect everyone to be fluent but I guess I've become accustomed to museum personnel knowing some. We were able to communicate enough for us to get a basic understanding with the minimal amount of Spanish we both knew along with gestures, but could tell I was missing out on a lot of interesting information. I was also disappointed with the available brochure which covers several museums in the area but is only in Portuguese.

A stately and ancient chapel,although it’s closed,it is divine, and I strongly recommend people coming here .The access to here is arduous but I find it worthwhile.The things you need to notice:it only opens from January to march as you can see in the photo.

Ein beeindruckendes Zeugnis der Mischung verschiedener Zivilisationen und Epochen. Der dort für die Sicherheit zuständige Mensch hat uns sehr freundlich informiert und versucht, trotz aller sprachlichen Probleme möglichst viele Informationen an uns weiterzugeben. Westgotische und römische Bestandteile der Kapelle mischen sich mit mozarabischen Einflüssen. Auch der leider stark verwitterte gotische Sarg des Bischofs mit den kaum noch erkennbaren Skulpturen des Abendmahls sowie einer Kreuzigungsszene fügt sich gut in das Ensemble ein. Das ist ein wunderbarer Ort, den man besucht haben sollte, wenn man in der Nähe ist! Mit einem größeren Wohnmobil ist der Ort nicht zu erreichen, die Straße ist einfach zu eng.

A capela de S. Pedro de Balsemão é o mais antigo de todos os monumentos de Lamego e, de acordo com alguns historiadores, o segundo da Península Ibérica. A sua origem suévico-visigótica remonta ao séc. VII, ao tempo de Sisebuto (rei visigótico que chegou a cunhar moeda em Lamego). No séc. XVII, a capela foi reedificada, sendo desta época a excelente talha que a reveste interiormente. De raro valor histórico e arqueológico, o templo, com três naves, possui duas peças do séc. XIV dignas de menção: uma escultura da Senhora do Ó esculpida em pedra de ançã e o túmulo do Bispo do Porto D. Afonso Pires, esculpido em granito. No seu interior sobressaem, ainda, duas fiadas de três arcos de cada lado assentes em colunas cilíndricas. A Capela de S. Pedro de Balsemão conserva grande parte da sua traça original e a grandiosidade do seu interior preserva o ambiente misterioso de épocas distantes. Integra as “Rotas Medievais do Vale do Douro”, em conjunto com outros exemplares do valioso património religioso construído no concelho de Lamego, e está classificada como...

OMG!!! My grandparents came from a village with a church from 1060 but this has half a MILLENNIUM on that. Just NOT to be missed. A bit remote and not for the timid driver but not far outside Lamego center. We took a taxi and had him wait for us. The docent/guide on site was a delight. No English but was amazing at conveying the...
