Igreja matriz de Loures, Church building in Loures, Portugal.

The Igreja Matriz de Loures contains three naves and a vaulted ceiling supported by Tuscan columns decorated with brutesco patterns from 1670.

King Afonso Henriques granted this land to the Knights Templar, who built a small chapel in the 13th century before the larger church construction.

The church displays multiple architectural periods, combining Serlian doors, Manueline chancel elements, and a Baroque style altarpiece in the high chapel.

The church maintains regular opening hours and hosts religious ceremonies including baptisms, weddings, and daily masses throughout the year.

The interior columns feature preserved brutesco decorations dating back to 1670, representing Portuguese artistic techniques of that period.
