"Esta Igreja, já existente em 1403, foi ampliada no século XVI (1565) por iniciativa de D. Álvaro de Castro. As suas paredes são revestidas de azulejos azuis e brancos da primeira metade do século XVIII. O portal da fachada é barroco. A escultura gótica de São Pedro, em pedra (séc. XV), é oriunda da capela românica de São Pedro de Canaferrim, cujas ruínas existem ainda no perímetro do Castelo dos Mouros."
"This church, which already existed in 1403, was enlarged in the 16th century (1565) on the initiative of Dom Álvaro de Castro. Its walls are panelled with blue and white azulejos dating from the first half of the 18th century. The main doorway is Baroque. The Gothic sculpture of Saint Peter, in stone (15th century), comes originally from the Romanesque Chapel of São Pedro, whose ruins are still to be seen on the perimeter of the Moorish Castle."
