At the far end of Trancoso’s Quadrado stands São João Batista Church, built in 1656 with its back to the sea to protect worshippers and the heritage. The little church is much sought after for charming weddings celebrated in the Quadrado. Behind the church is a viewpoint with a panoramic view of some of Trancoso’s most beautiful beaches, as well as part of the area’s native vegetation characteristic of the Atlantic Forest.
