If you are cycling through the Coimbra region, there is one location you must add to your map. Perched on a limestone hill, the Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Ó in Reveles offers what many consider the most breathtaking panorama of the entire Mondego Valley.
Why it’s a must-visit: This isn’t just a church; it’s a natural balcony. From the viewpoint right next to the 18th-century chapel, you can see the intricate patterns of the rice fields below. The light here transforms the landscape into a living painting.
The History in Stone: The church itself is a gem of Baroque architecture. Its unique name, “Senhora do Ó,” reflects deep-rooted local traditions. It’s a place of absolute peace and perfect silence.
