The Church of Terço is located at “Avenue of the Great War of Two Combatant” city of Barcelos, northern Portugal.

This church, apparently simple, was part of an old Benedictine monastery dating from the eighteenth century. Its importance is due to the Baroque art that can be seen on the walls, as they are covered by a mosaic of tiles that portray the life of St. Benedict, António de Oliveira Bernades work, an authentic eighteenth-century master.
