Torre da Igreja de Santa Cristina | Saint Cristina Tower

Construída no século XVII / XVIII, é a torre sineira que restou da antiga Igreja de Santa Cristina, destruída em 11 maio de 1809, pelas tropas do general Loison, aquando da 2.ª invasão francesa, comandada por Soult, passando o culto a ser celebrado na capela do antigo solar da Picota.

Situada em pleno centro histórico de Mesão Frio, no ano de 2021, a torre foi reconvertida num miradouro urbano de acesso livre.

The bell tower that stands today was built in the 17th/18th century and is all that remains of the old Church of Santa Cristina. Unfortunately, the church was destroyed on May 11, 1809, by the troops of General Loison during the 2nd French invasion led by Soult. Worship was then moved to the chapel of the former solar of Picota.

In 2021, the tower located in the historic center of Mesão Frio was transformed into an urban viewpoint that can be accessed freely.
