The Chapel of the Souls (Capela das Almas) was Viana's first mother church until the mid-15th century, when the Cathedral (Sé Catedral) was built within its perimeter. It is called the Chapel of the Souls because its churchyard served as a burial ground from the time of King Afonso III until the end of the 16th century. All that remains of the original 13th-century structure, when it was built (expanded in 1719), are an arcosol on the south side of the church and the cross with its headboard. It is a typical small church of the 18th-century Baroque style, but certainly worth seeing.

Cross the bridge and then turn left. Always follow the shell
