The so-called “old church of Cantelães”, in the Portuguese rural district of Vieira do Minho, is an enigmatic archaeological site subjected to three archaeological campaigns, from 2010 to 2012. These interventions have revealed an impressive roman building from the 1st century AD, in some way displaced in this remote region of the Conventus Bracarensis in the Tarraconensis Roman province. A well-documented fire has entirely destroyed the building by the end of the 1st century AD, which was permanently abandoned and deeply dismantled afterwards.
