Terras de Bouro has one of the most important religious heritage sites, with hundreds of years of tradition \u2013 S. Bento da Porta Aberta. The cult originated with the construction of small hermitage in 1614. At that time, this chapel had a small porch and the doors were always open, so it served as refuge to all those who passed by.
