Saint Paul's Church, 16th-century religious building in Cividade, Portugal
The church exterior displays a straightforward facade design while the interior contains detailed baroque woodwork decorations across multiple altars and sections.
The Jesuits constructed this church during Archbishop Bartholomew of Braga's leadership in the 1500s as part of their educational establishment in the region.
The interior wood carvings demonstrate the technical expertise of Portuguese artisans who created religious artwork during the baroque period.
Saint Paul's Church stands at Largo de São Paulo 15 in Braga, within walking distance of the Cathedral and the Dom Diogo de Sousa Museum.
The church forms part of a larger complex that includes both the Seminary of Saint Peter and Saint Paul and the Pius XII Museum.
