Absolutely stunning… ineffable astonishment as soon as I entered the cathedral, and I just gazed at the gilded altarpieces in awe. This is certainly the greatest embodiment of Portuguese baroque
Exploring this church is really fascinating !, the church is amazing ! You’ll really say wow when you see inside!, very interesting to explore the catacombs in the basement level there’s a small window in the floor (which is tucked away and worth looking for) inside the floor window you can see all the bones buried beneath !
I personally was very impressed by this church. I have seen many churches in my life, but I consider The church of São Francisco or The Gold Church a bit unusual. The church itself is a masterpiece. I strongly recommend visiting this church. I found the tickets a bit pricey, but in the end, I wasn't disappointed.
The Igreja de São Francisco is one of the most beautiful churches in Porto. The Gothic outside looks plain, but the inside is stunning, full of gold details and amazing sacred decorations. The museum and catacombs are also worth a visit. A must-see spot when exploring the city!
One of Porto’s most impressive churches, famous for its richly decorated Baroque interior. The golden carvings covering almost every surface are absolutely stunning. From the outside it looks quite simple, but the inside is breathtaking. The adjacent museum and catacombs are also worth a visit.
