Igreja de São Tiago, Romanesque church in São Bartolomeu, Portugal.

The Igreja de São Tiago features both a four-arch portal on the front facade and a southern portal with unpainted archivolts and vine-shaped frames.

The church construction started before 957 and underwent major rebuilding in the late 12th century during the reign of Sancho I of Portugal.

The interior space contains three naves and three chapels, with capitals displaying plant and animal motifs influenced by the Old Cathedral of Coimbra.

The church stands at Praça do Comércio, maintaining regular visiting hours for those interested in exploring its architectural and historical elements.

A 15th-century addition introduced a quadrangular chapel with a Gothic portal on the north side, creating an architectural contrast with the original structure.

Location: Coimbra (Sé Nova, Santa Cruz, Almedina e São Bartolomeu)
