The most beautiful religious buildings Central And Beiras

It is to be seen with the Renaissance palace (where the museum is located) and the church of Mercy opposite (with its huge baroque facade). The combination of these three monuments gives the square a diversity of colours and styles that softens the massive appearance of the cathedral. Do not miss the visit of the cloister with its 18th century azulejos walls and, with your head in the air, the superb Manueline vault known as the "vault of the knots". The Museum of Sacred Art, which consists of the Cathedral Treasure, is worth a visit. Be careful, during the priest's agape, the cloister closes for a few minutes.

This church was built by an Italian architect in the Renaissance in xvi^e century. It is covered with azulejos both on its façade (xix^e century) and inside (xvi^e century). Note its magnificent gate sculpted according to the style of the school of Coimbra early xvi^e century.

The cathedral is rather exciting, except for the statue of Christ used for processions. Just behind the cathedral, you will be quite bewitched by the driveway of a small cemetery of large vaults dominating the Central Canal.

This Renaissance and Baroque church was built in 1232 and renovated. She is worth a look at her remarkable medieval paintings over 400 years old discovered during her renovation in 1992!

Inaugurated in 2007 on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the apparitions in Fatima, this white church is located in front of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary. Very modern, it has pure architectural lines: it has no interior pillars but rests on two large transverse beams. In the basement, you can discover several chapels with minimalist decoration where mosaics by contemporary Portuguese artists are drawn along the exterior walls.
