Religious Architecture

The Gabú Church is a small, modest building. A picture from around 1966 nonetheless shows a harmonious series of bodies with a very simple design along vernacular lines. The body of the nave is topped by a simple triangular pediment, flanked by a tower with a four-sided, moulded spire at the top. A sheltered loggia protects the entrance.
