Church of Saint Ildefonso, Catholic church in Porto, Portugal.
The granite church features two bell towers topped with stone crosses and exhibits an elongated octagonal architectural layout near Batalha Square.
Construction of the current building began in 1709 after demolishing an older chapel, and the main structure reached completion in 1739.
The church displays 11,000 blue and white azulejo tiles created by Jorge Colaco in 1932, illustrating scenes from Saint Ildefonso's life.
The church operates daily masses and maintains specific visiting hours, including afternoon sessions from Monday through Saturday and morning hours on Sunday.
The interior contains a preserved pipe organ from 1811 and features an altarpiece designed by Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni.
