Discover this place

The description of Bucos of 1758 gives color to the history of his church: it refers to the altarpiece of the main altarpiece in carved wood, with golden reliefs and red backgrounds. St John the Baptist appears as patron; the account also mentions devotions to Our Lady of the Rosary, St. Pedro And St. Anthony.

The matrix and the cruise are part of the religious heritage of Bucos. Reading the Memories allows you to imagine the church then, without assuming that all these elements arrived intact to the present.
