The main church of Esposende, dedicated to Santa Maria dos Anjos, was built in 1758 to replace an older chapel dedicated to Nossa Senhora da Graça, dating from 1566. It was expanded in the neoclassical style between 1885 and 1896.

This fortress was built between 1669 and 1702 and was declared a Site of Public Interest in 1982. It can currently be visited but as there are no maintenance services, it is in a state of complete abandonment.
