Built between 1606 and 1616, this is a fine example of early Baroque architecture. It was constructed over a former chapel dedicated to São Gonçalo and has since served as the paroquial for the Vera-Cruz parish. In the late 18th and 19th centuries, the interior was enriched with gilded woodwork and azulejo tile decorations, adding to its artistic and historical significance. Longitudinal plant composed of a double rectangle, corresponding to the ship and chancel, which is reduced dimensions, and a foursquare body of the bell tower to the left of the main facade. Simple dough and two -water roof cover. Despeated front, with slightly shaken axial portal, stroke with architectural frames to be rowed by stylized turns and straight lintel. On this ripping rectangular text of identical style, flanked by tile panels, and oval center with cruciform shot. Crowning countercurvado from fins on which they are based on pinnacles and cross-rod cross in flower-de-lis. On the left stands, beyond the marking of stonework sisters, a simple wind tower on each side and hemispheric cover. Single nave interior, with patronage tile lambril, high chorus based on a shuffled arc supported by moaning and imposed mooring columns. Two collateral altarpieces of golden carving and two other sides, angle stations, all of them, as well as the cruise arc, with carving sanefas on the gospel side, baptismal chapel under the choir and square -based square -based and developed pulpit. Vaily coverage of edges based on tiles tearing, among the oval gaps. Lowered chapel, with tumboxes in perfect return arc, fully lined with golden carving, and altarpiece also of golden carving. Another beautiful that Portugal has to offer. Free entry and definitely worth a minute or two to check it out. Beautiful church, close to the city center. So, you can easily walk here.
