Igreja de São João Baptista, Medieval Catholic church in central square of Tomar, Portugal
The church features three naves separated by pointed arches, with a prominent bell tower positioned on its left side facing the square.
King Manuel I ordered the reconstruction of this religious building at the end of the 15th century, and the works were completed around 1510.
The interior displays remarkable 16th-century paintings by Renaissance artist Gregório Lopes and diamond-pattern azulejo tiles from the 17th century.
The church maintains full accessibility with adapted routes and facilities, making it convenient for all visitors to explore the religious monument.
The bell tower contains a 16th-century clock mechanism that continues to mark time for the central square of Tomar.
