This church is a small but stunning example of Baroque architecture, built in the 18th century. It’s most famous for its interior, which is almost completely covered in blue and white azulejo tiles. These tiles tell stories from the life of Saint Lawrence and are considered some of the best in the country. The building itself is simple on the outside, but the inside is a real surprise.
- The interior is covered with hand-painted azulejo tiles from floor to ceiling.
- The ceiling features a beautiful painted dome.
- The church is known for its peaceful atmosphere and unique artistic details.
- See the Azulejo Tiles Up Close: The walls are covered in detailed blue and white tiles that are over 300 years old. They’re super rare and tell cool stories from history.
- Experience the Dome Ceiling: The painted dome is a work of art and looks amazing in photos.
- Enjoy the Calm Vibe: It’s usually quiet, so you can really take in the art and history without crowds.
- Dress code: Shoulders and knees covered (it’s a church, so keep it respectful).
- Best time to visit: Early morning or late afternoon for the best light and fewer people.
- Tickets: It’s recommended to book a few days in advance, especially in summer.
