Why it deserves a visit
Designed by Nicolau Nasoni in the eighteenth century, this Baroque ensemble joins church, brotherhood house and the tower that became one of Porto’s principal landmarks.
What to look for
The tower is not an isolated landmark: it belongs to the church and former Brotherhood House in a Baroque ensemble designed by Nicolau Nasoni. Compare the church’s curved façade with the tower’s role as a reference point in Porto’s street pattern.
Plan your visit
The tower climb uses numerous narrow steps and may have timed entry. Visitors unable to climb can still see the church and interpretation spaces; check worship times and access conditions before visiting. Completed in 1763, the tower rises through progressively decorated stages and shows how Nasoni adapted a monumental structure to a narrow urban plot.
The Baroque church and tower form one ensemble designed by Nicolau Nasoni. Tower access involves many narrow steps and timed capacity; visitors unable to climb can still appreciate the church and interpretive areas below.
