Look at several periods together
Largo da Assunção 38, Cascais · This is an active church. Worship takes priority; opening does not guarantee access to every artwork or room.
The exact foundation date is unknown. The present church relates to rebuilding after 1755 and preserves older religious art, including panels from around 1520–1525 and works by Josefa d’Óbidos transferred later. José Malhoa painted the Assumption on the ceiling in 1900.

泽上于地，萃。
Lake above the earth: Cui.
I read Cui through the periods and people gathered here. A shared space need not imply shared origins: each work’s arrival deserves explanation.
A transferred work retains the history of its earlier setting. Its new position adds meaning.
Traces from different periods can coexist without forced stylistic unity.
Worshippers and visitors share the place. Looking at art must leave room for worship.
