The original construction of the Parish Church dates back to the Middle Ages. It was here that Vasco da Gama received his “prima tonsure” from the hands of the Bishop of Safim in 1480.
At the beginning of the 18th century, the church was already too small for the number of believers who wanted to attend mass. With the authorization of the Order of Santiago, it was extensively remodeled in the 1930s (probably under the guidance of João Antunes, architect of the Mesa da Consciência e Ordens, or his collaborator), acquiring its current appearance, typical of the Joanine Baroque.
