Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Luz, Catholic church in Carnide, Portugal
The church displays a prominent facade from 1870, with a main chapel containing jasper reliefs and a notable 1590 altarpiece featuring Renaissance elements.
Construction began in 1575 under the patronage of Infanta Maria, daughter of King Manuel I, and the building endured substantial damage during the 1755 earthquake.
The interior paintings depict scenes from the Virgin Mary and Christ, while the architectural details reflect Portuguese religious art from the 16th century.
