The Parish Church of Ferreiras was inaugurated on the 30th of April 2000 and is located north of the village of Ferreiras. The bell tower is topped by a globe symbolizing the earth and a weathervane in the shape of a rooster, both in copper. In the center there is a fountain with water, an element that symbolizes fertility and freshness. The blue glass brick panel that frames the altar has in front of it, hanging from above, the image of Christ Resurrection, a wooden sculpture by Arlindo Arez from the Algarve. The tile panel that frames the baptismal font and which evokes “The Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River by João Baptista” is by the Carmelite Sisters. Also noteworthy is the image of St. Joseph the Baptist coming from Italy. (automatic translation)
