MUDAS
18th century church, located in Sítio da Igreja. The parish dismembered from Calheta in 1472, had its headquarters in the chapel of S. Brás and Father Pedro Delgado was its first vicar.
The parish church was rebuilt in 1744, by auction to Cristóvão Gomes, for the sum of 9,350$00 réis, giving the Fazenda Real two bells, one of 20 and the other of 6 arrobas, and receiving the old bell already cracked to be cast. It was blessed on January 1, 1755.
