Description
These pretty grey granite stone and white stucco churches are typical of the villages of northern Portugal. This one is at Freixieiro de Soutelo in Minho Province not far from the Spanish border. The carved stone crosses on columns are called cruzeiros and are common across the region and also across the border in north western Spain (where they are called cruceiros).

James Brunker replied:
Thank you Michaela! There are many churches in a similar style in northern Portugal, the grey stone with the white is very elegant I think, they are not over-ornate like some Catholic churches are
