The present church took shape in the second half of the sixteenth century. Repairs after the 1713 fire added new decorative layers. Rebuilding forms part of its history, rather than an interruption between two versions. The design is associated with António Rodrigues. Its three naves and eighteenth-century tiles offer different readings: first the division of space, then the way decoration connects it.
What to look for
Observe structure alongside tile decoration. Look for different phases without treating every later intervention as a loss of authenticity.
