Church of the Lóios, Gothic church in Évora, Portugal

The Church of Lóios features a Gothic portal, a single nave with five ribbed ogival sections, and marble columns supporting decorative arches.

Founded in 1485 by Count Rodrigo Afonso de Melo, the church served as a burial site for nobility and underwent modifications after the 1755 earthquake.

The interior walls display blue and white ceramic tiles from 1711 by António de Oliveira Bernardes, depicting scenes from São Lourenço Justiniano's life.

The church is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00 except Mondays, with an entrance fee of 7 euros that includes access to exhibitions.

The church contains Flemish bronze tombstones and connects to both a former convent, now a hotel, and the 14th-century Palace of the Dukes of Cadaval.

Location: União das Freguesias de Évora (São Mamede, Sé, São Pedro e Santo Antão)

Architectural style: Manueline

Part of: Palace of the Dukes of Cadaval
