At the beginning of the century . XV was raised a chapel dedicated to St. Mary of the Castle on a terrace not far from the top of the mountain in memory of the battle between soldiers of Trancoso in Portugal and Castile . Later another chapel was erected , replacing the first . And the chapel was maintained until 1832 , when the enthronement of the image of Our Lady of the Castle in the temple that still stands on the flattened top of the hill , sent up in the piety of Miguel Pais de Sá Menezes. The chapel building is a simple but sleek lines which highlights the uniqueness of a steep high tower high on the facade . The interior of the temple shows a bright elegant main chapel altarpiece whose neoclassical flavor rises over high steps . The image of the Virgin with its sovereign boy thrives in Central throne . http://www.cmmangualde.pt Photos: Celso Gonçalves Roc2c
