São Marcos da Ataboeira is a very pretty Alentejo village on the road to Mértola. At its heart, and standing in a quiet garden-like space, is the Igreja Matriz (parish church). This building dates from the 16th century, although it has been subject to changes and improvements over the ages. The coat of arms of the Order of St. James is visible over the doorway, which is decorated in the Baroque style. The main chapel has a dome lined with glazed tiles (azuelos) and the altar retable is richly decorated with gilded and polychromatic woodwork.
