This church is actually a monastery, a Dominican monastery. It is dedicated to Blessed Gonçalo, who is also the patron saint of this town. The monastery was built in the 16th century, and parts of it now serve as the town hall and a museum. It's very sustainable.

The Camino de Santiago passes here on the way to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. In Amarante it follows the Tamega River as a signpost. At certain intervals there are shells embedded in the ground.

Very tasty food, classy atmosphere, but you have to bring a lot of time with you. Waiting times of 40-60 minutes are not uncommon here. If you reserve in time, you can get a seat right by the river.
