Igreja de Santa Maria de Marvila, Gothic church in Santarém, Portugal

The Igreja de Santa Maria de Marvila features a Gothic doorway, glazed tiles on the roof, and detailed interior decorations from the 17th century.

King Afonso Henriques granted permission to the Templars in 1149 to establish this church after conquering Santarém in 1147 from Islamic rulers.

The interior walls display extensive azulejo panels that represent different artistic styles developed throughout the 17th century in Portuguese religious architecture.

The church welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday, with morning hours from 09:30 to 12:30 and afternoon hours from 14:00 to 17:30.

During reconstruction in the 16th century, the church received Manueline elements including an armillary sphere and the Cross of the Order of Christ.
