The Romanesque St John the Baptist Church is the mother church of Senancelhe. It stands in the central Praça da Republica and has later additions, notably from the 17th century. On either side of the portal there are remarkable 12th century granite statues in niches, three on either side. The notable portal itself has a semicircle of carved angels and a four-lobed bull’s eye window in the tympanum. Inside there are 16th century painted panels, including a splendid portrayal of John the Baptist and much gilt carved woodwork. The pillory standing across the square is dated 1554.
