The Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Guadalupe is the parish church of Agualva. It has a central bell tower with a pointed roof and dominates the main square in the village’s centre. Originally founded in 1588, the old church was replaced by the present building in 1678. In 1930 the church was completely renovated and consecrated to the village’s patron saint. Also in the church square stands a small ‘império’ dating from around 1873, and in May 2005, the most recent ‘império’ in the whole archipelago was consecrated in Oiteiros, a hamlet belonging to this town.
