Capela de Nossa Senhora da Conceição

Capela de Nossa Senhora da Conceição is a chapel in central Braga, Portugal. The interior features continuous wooden construction throughout, integrating natural materials with sacred elements, and can accommodate approximately 700 people.

The chapel was built in 1940 during a period of community growth following World War II. A comprehensive renovation in 2015 transformed the space back to its current condition.

The chapel honors the Immaculate Conception with religious artworks displayed throughout its interior that reflect the spiritual life of the community. Visitors can experience how the building's design reinforces the spiritual purpose of the space.

The chapel sits near Braga's historical center and is accessible on foot from the main areas. Visitors should keep in mind this is an active place of worship, so respectful behavior and awareness of prayer times matter.

The building received the Religious Architecture Building of the Year award from ArchDaily following its 2015 renovation. This international recognition highlights the quality of the restoration work and its thoughtful design approach.
