Hilltop Romanesque cathedral, with a fortress-like interior, a rose window & Gothic cloisters.

👍👍 A place of prayer. The great Devotion to St. Rita prevails.

👍👍 I always visit the churches when I go to different places and this Church was something special. Beautiful architecture on the outside and even more beautifully decorated on the inside. Definitely a must see.

Baroque church with a marble altarpiece & a 75-m bell tower that is a symbol of Porto.

Elegant 18th-century church whose facade is covered in blue & white tiles added in the 1930s.

Connected to its twin church by a house, this baroque church has a well-known tiled side facade.

👍 Beautiful church. Lots of blue tiles on the wall. This is also main attraction for photographer/tourist. Right across the train station .

Notable, 19th-century Catholic church boasting 2 bell towers & Neoclassical architecture.

👍👍 I did not have any chance yet to enter to the church. I just passed in front of the church several times. Pros: 1. The church has beautiful architecture. We can see it from outside. 2. The location is quite strategic. It is in the behind Camara Municipal Porto. 3. Entrance accessible for wheelchair...

👍👍 Great church.

14th-century Franciscan church with remarkable interiors including baroque altarpieces & gilt wood.

👍👍 Paroquia maravilhosa, inclusiva, alegre e comunidade participativa! Me sinto muito bem quando la estou!

👍👍 Wonderful, a shame it's always closed. I appeal to the Porto City Council and the Curia. Open and allow the visit of this Wonder. I can be responsible for looking after her if needed, as I live 200 meters away from her.

👍👍 Romanesque Church Santa Maria de Água Santas: In Jerusalem at the beginning of the 12th century, men of various races displayed the cross on their garments, a symbol that united them in faith and in the desire to protect the tomb of Jesus Christ. They were men of the orders of the Templars, Teutoni...

Mas o restauro é preocupante, pois parece que usaram uma tinta no lugar de folha de ouro? E lamento a escolha de vitrais, bem pirosos, que desvirtua...

Renaissance-style Catholic church first built in the 1500s, now with an 18th-century baroque facade.

🫤 Very beautiful, but a lot of noise, many conversations in the sacristy without respect for those who are praying, the flower ladies think they are in the cafe, correcting strongly ..

👍👍 We've had a mix of audio and live English guide. Audio was very limited and poor. But the live guide was very knowledgeable, passionate and with great sense of humour. It was an interesting experience and reflective space. Partly thanks to conversation around well-endowed mermaids on monks' benches...
